i plan on throwing in dual exhaust over this summer and i just want suggestions of mounting locations for brackets as well as where to run the pipes. not much room with that spare under there... any suggestions or pictures would be appreciated.

thanks guys

 

are you going true duals or just replacing the resonators and muffler with a single in/dual out? You wanting the tips straight out the back or angled down behind the rear tires? You could come out in front of the rear tires and eliminate the headache of going over the axle. I have single in/dual out coming straight out the back. Had no issues with clearance around the spare, but I got a system that said it would clear the spare. I had to make my own hangers and brackets for the most part becauase mine was more of a "universal fit" system. Most of the name brand should use the factory hangers. I will take some pics of mine later.

 

i have a flowmaster 40 now, and i planned on doing two straight out the back like yours... i would have to get a new muffler or can i put a ypipe behind mine now and branch off to the other side of the truck...?

 

You could do that i guess. i dont know how much of a performance difference it makes doing it that way verses having a true single in/dual out muffler. Someone would still have to fab up the pipes. Do you have a muffler shop around? I installed mine myself but found out later that I could have had it done at a shop for @$50 more, which I would have done if I had known it was that cheap just to save me the headache. Unless you have to have a brand name (borla, gibson, etc) cat back system, you can save yourself a lot of money using knock off mufflers and having a local shop make the pipes for you. This is definiitely one of those "you get what you pay for" mods, but I have had no problems with my $200 ebay cat back system. My 2 cents.

 

I just have a single flow pro catback on my 4.7L and I love the sound. The total for the muffled swap was $170 and $20 of that was them cutting out the resenator and welding in a piece of pipe. I say buy something like jkeaton. Just saying

 

my setup is the 2 tailpipes over the axles and dual in dual out dynomax X muffler. 2 1/2 piping

cut off the y pipe and custom piping from the front to muffler total cost 700$installed tx in

 

Watch the last part of the video and you can see how I set mine up.
