I've been debating on getting the trubenz set up with mag's but I hoestly dont know if there will be that much of a difference in hp vs putting to mag's on the stock piping. does going to a 2.5" set up make that much of a difference for the money? 99greensvt true bendzw/magnaflo accelwires mircosplitter pioneer 6400 intrax springs rear strut bar removed door "ding" guards custom painted interior/leather magic.com kn filter drilled /slotted rotors

The 2.25" single is a restriction especially in the upper rpm (above 5k) Cost analysis. 2 mufflers and a resonator is ~$150. Probably $250 installed??? Trubendz is $400 IIRC. Install it yourself. Maybe $50 to have a shop weld it up once you install it. (clamps SUCK!) Even though this shows how cost effective modifying the stock exhaust is if you plan more mods or "significant" mods then the 2.5" is the way to go. I only recommend duals to those that can build their own. I'd imagine for a shop to build a good setup (Mandrels and straight throughs) it would be over $1000 and you'd have to either find a shop that is highly skilled and trustworthy or watch them like a hawk. The later of which just won't happen. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Well soon as I fgure out what I have to do to get mid 14's I will still be in debate... thanks again demon 99greensvt true bendzw/magnaflo accelwires mircosplitter pioneer 6400 intrax springs rear strut bar removed door "ding" guards custom painted interior/leather magic.com kn filter drilled /slotted rotors

And maybe more. Unless you get used, subsidized, and/or fantastic deals and/or can do specialty work yourself, you're OVER $1,000 in parts and another $1,000 in labor right there.
