Talking Getting True Duals installed !

Yeah, I finally took the plunge and ordered the GT takeoffs, they should be here today. I just set an appointment to have them installed on Saturday morning - man, the wait is killing me already!

I've been wanting to get those for over a year now, don't know what kept me from doing it.

I'll post pics and (hopefully) a soundclip later on Saturday!

Around 110.00 incl. shipping to SoCal and 300.00 for having the shop install it and fabricate a custom H-Pipe...

Just curious: will the sound improve with a setup just like that?

I will be installing mine when the weather breaks here in Chi-town. This is what I am installing:
FRPP x-pipe: $119
GT take off mufflers with rolled chrome tip: $75
Axle back pipes taken off a GT: $30
Price of having a true dual exhaust: PRICELESS

I can't wait till this bummer snowy weather goes away!!!!

Did anyone cut their own bumper using the template from the Pypes-webpage?

Thinking about just marking the bumper where it needs to be cut rather than have the exhaust-guy cut it free-hand or cutting it myself...

What kind of saw / knife would get the job done?

Thanks for any input,
Ben.

I cut mine in the garage using a dremel. I took a pice of cardboard and made a template using the other side for reference then measured everything and made sure it would be even and then I went to work with the dremel. Its scary at first but its really not hard at all.

naw i had the shop do it. That sounds expensive for all the stuff. I got a deal on my takeoffs for $40 for both with only 500 miles on them. plus the shop cut my bumber, made an h pipe and installed for $180. so it cost me $220 total out the door!

Great work! Looks awesome!

A friend of mine with a V6 is interested in that setup on her Mustang.

Can I ask you for a list of parts required for the conversion and where you got them from?

Also, what shop did you go to and would you recommend them for a future install?

Lastly. Mind if I ask you total cost out the door for parts and install?

Thanks!!!

Well, the only parts I got were the 2 GT Takeoff exhausts from www.v6mustangstuff.com for 74.99 plus shipping. Everything else was custom made by the shop. I paid 300.00 for the install and that included all the pipes, bending, welding and cutting the bumper.

I can highly recommend the template you can get at Pypes' website when marking where to cut the bumper: http://pysales.com/inst/SFM68-69-bumper-cutout02.pdf

I don't know where exactly you're friend is at, I had this done at KarLife mufflers in Bellflower, north of Long Beach.

Couldn't be happier with the result, and the sound is reaaallyyy goood....

Thanks! We both live around the Mission Viejo area. I really appreciate your help! If you get a chance, post up a video or a sound clip, I'd love to hear it!

Maybe we should start a thread "Show us your Sixers with dual exhausts"...
