Well i finally got the mav insured and registered. its a good feeling to be driving it agian. i currently have 2 pipes that go off the headers into flowmasters and dump under the back seat, All kinds of fumes inside, i went to the exaust shop to get a quote to have dual exaust out the back and a X pipe installed, he said those are better than H pipes because exaust dont mak 90degree bends. He also said he cant get duals out the back and suggested out the sides right behind the door. since i have kids that will be getting in and out regularly it causes concern and i would prefer them out the back. I know some of you guys have done it. can i get pics, pipe size, etc that i may need and i can take the pics around and get some more quotes. thanks guys!
Don't let him talk you into the fact that it can't be done. I had a guy run duals all the way out the back off the manifolds 2 1/4 " w/ mufflers for $350 cash. Keep checking it can be done!! Do it the way you want it not the way they want it.
it can be done, go find someone else if this guy sais it can't be donel, many people over here running duals out the back
Go somewhere else. I have had duals out the back of my Mav before. It's tight, and lazy shops will always say it can't be done so they don't have to work for the money. He also can't make mandrel bends for you either... Makes a big difference in exhaust flow, but you have to buy the bends yourself and have them welded together into an exhaust. Too much work for a lazy shop. Don't get an X pipe if they charge you more for it than an H pipe. It's not a big enough difference to worry about. Good for about 4 hp on a Nascar engine at 9k rpms. Think about how little it does for your street engine. That info comes from Dr Gas himself. He invented the X pipe. Don't get them run out the side... Done that. Not kid or passenger friendly IMO. If you keep the end of the pipes at the axle, just get some turndowns made for the end of the muffler. That will cut fumes and sound down drastically.
