I am thinkin I want to just go for a single exhaust for the convenience. does anyone have a single aftermarket exhaust on theirS? which one is it and how do you like it. im not sure i want to cut the valence etc and i just want a deeper sound out of it. iv seen flow 40s/ borla, and a couple more. if you have heard and good sounding single exhausts please name em. thanks
West Coast has the JBA dual system on special. I have them on my car and they sould awesome. You have to cut your pipe just before the y as they are true duals. But it comes with complete instructions on where to do it.
there are even catback dual kits that do not require cuting pipes..... even magnflow has a kit that does not require bumper being cut. I am either going with the magnflow dual catback or the JBA dual catback
bztz4m if that single magnaflow sounds good I bet the dual one even better... would u recommend them? It is hard to make a decision on this subject without hearing in person the sound.....
I have done alot of research on all these cat back systems and for the money i decided to have a muffler shop do the work. I had the pipes cut off just after the cats and welded an H pipe in with all new pipe all the way back with flowmaster 40 series mufflers installed with the bumper being notched only cost me $453.00 with tax. Now that's in michigan but before you lay on your back for a couple of hours call around and check price's.
I best thing to do is find a dealer that has a V6 with duals on it so you can hear the new system. I like the single system for now until I can afford the dual.

Ya, there are dual systems out there that you don't have to cut your pipes. I had JBA's Y pipe dual exhaust on my car before I switched it over to the H pipe system that you have to cut to install. The Y pipe is a direct bolt on kit...no cutting needed. However, you get mainly sound and looks and not much in the way of performance. The reason for this is that before it gets to the dual system it the factory pipe chokes it down to a single exhaust. Taking the back part of the single exhaust off and replacing it without opening up the complete restriction does not do much for performance. It does look good and sound good, no question about that. So if you are looking for a simple easy way to get the sound and look and don't want to cut your pipes, that is the way to go. If you are worried about messing up your exhaust, you could always have them professionally done with Flowmasters or something like that. My friend put flowmasters on his GT and it sounds really good.
Sorry for all the posts. I get a little upset when people act like jerks on the forums. You try to pass on stuff you see and you get goof balls that get all bent. It is so stupid. If you don't want to know or see, just skip the post. Don't flame out on people, someone else might find it useful.
I have another friend of mine that did opt for the single exhaust on his car. He went with the JBA single axle back. I don't know the size or anything, I got to tell you it sounds really nice also. It sounds better than the sound bite on JBA's site also. He reset his computer and doesn't get all the poping when you let off the gas like is on the sound bite.
The shop ordered all part's and the muffler's. All i did was drive it to them and pick it up. I don't mind working on anything but laying on my back under a car is not that much fun for me. And to me there wasn't enough price difference between those bolt on kits and what i paid to have someone else do it.
Was just on West Coast's Site. That is where I got my headers and dual JBA set up (and get them on sale) and they got a special running this weekend on the V6 headers and dual exhaust. In case anyone is interested.
I got a considerable jump in performance and mileage when I put my system on. I really like the sound and the performance. Get a lot of compliments on the car too! Which is always nice.

I posted one link to help someone out. You constantly spam us with either your business or someone you are affiliated with's business. Every post you make has to do with pimping WC. It's spam.

ya, it pretty much is spam. I bought a grille from the guy on ebay months ago. He works for the same company. I guess it is only a coincident that headhuntersps and West Coast Performance Parts have the same city and zip code listed.

But, several posts, ask for this type of info. Should I not pass on the info? Someone wants products and I know either where they can get it or how it works, shouldn't I answer the questions? You tell me. Just like you did and do JIMP.
I am interested in anyone telling me what they found relative to the warranty if they go to duals. I talked with my local service manager at the dealer and really didn't get a straight answer. The local muffler shop said that as long as they don't end up cutting the pipe where the dual pipe comes into the single there is no issue with the warranty. But it he cuts that pipe to put on a dual system it could invalidate the warranty.
We talked about just putting on a simulated dual system by connecting to the single pipe and Y'ing off to dual mufflers, but that sure seems to defeat the purpose.
My muffler man also said that he can go to the Y joint, and install a thicker pipe to the muffler and probably get just as much performance increase as if we install true dual system.
Any comments on this statement and the warranty issue from anyone?
