Thanks all!!

I can't believe I forgot to describe my solution for the driver-side tailpipe opening in the bumper! I just cut it myself with a box-cutter knife. :dance: I made a stencil of the other side, reversed it, measured, marked, and cut it. Its not perfect but I don't think anyone will notice.

More noticable would be that the driver-side muffler as pictured in my gallery was hanging lower and further back than the other. The lack of a close-up in my gallery was intentional.

Honestly I don't know enough about cars to recommend an exhaust installation like mine. Despite having to return to the shop twice to have pipe bent away from axle, I never took pictures while the car was up. But I got my idea from the Magnaflow "dual exit" system, so mine is basically like this.

[attachmentid=18975]

I'm not sure if everyone will find or even want to find a shop that will do this for $150 like I did. The low cost is partially because I installed the passenger-side muffler myself. The guys at this shop in Houston were definitely not experts. Like I said I had to return twice. But all is good now; both tailpipes are hanging straight and even, and my pipe is no longer smacking against my axle when I drive.

I would love to hear from anyone else that gets or aleady has the same setup. :
Just a question/observation: I noticed that the dual setup runs to a y pipe, than through a short pip to another y pipe to each bank of the V6. I think I would have taken out the original y pipe and put in a cross over (x pipe) instead... would this make more sense?

I am looking into buying the V6 model and have been looking at how much it would cost to make the modifications to custmize the car...

So you're looking at running true duals with an x-pipe then? Why an x-pipe?
