All depends on how much you wanna spend. Doing a custom true dual would be best but thats some money. Best aftermarket depends on what kinda of sound you like. Bassani is higher pitched than the Borla!

If I were to do it now I would go true-duals. I have the Bassani (as most CAP CEG'ers) and like it but should have done the duals to begin with.

FYI,
It's going to be hard to find a shop to install a mandrel bent custom true dual because your Cat will have to be replaced. Most exhaust shops won't touch them because it is illegal to mess with the cat.

It's also going to be hard to find a shop that will make a custom true-dual for the contour. I have checked with 2 so far...and they were unwilling to do it. So....I'm going to do it myself.

Isn't it technically legal to replace the cat after 50k miles if there are problems with it? Well my main cat has disingrated......on it's own............ Originally posted by Andy W.:

--Matt If you are coming to Spring Zing, you could get it done in Detroit for a very fair price. Or, if you want to stay closer to K-zoo, you could get it done at a shop in Grand Rapids. I have SHM headers too.
