Ok, here's the deal. My wife is gonna let me get duals for father's day. I was looking at both the Magnaflow and the JBA, both of which are pretty pricey IMHO. But they are stainless.

After spending a few hours on the phone, it seems Meineke (sp?) is the best bet in the Colorado Springs area. They're willing to do a 2-1/4" true dual with Flowmaster 40's by cutting the stock exhaust off before it Y's. Cost = $480 - 5% military discount.

The only problem is it's not stainless.

What do you guys recommend?

I was so impressed with the quality of the JBA headers and I now have JBA duals on the way... looking forward to the install!

I think the main thing making me lean towards the custom system is that they're true duals, not a split dual.

It's not 100% done yet, but I am definitely glad I went with the true duals.

I'll post a picture in a bit.

Ok, here's a picture of the system. I won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow, because they only had one of the Flowmaster's I needed.
