So I'm driving around one day with my son and we hear a strange noise from under the vehicle when the truck is shifting gears at around 1500 rpm. We get home and notice the muffler has started to crack in places and a hole is beginning to form.
I at least need a new muffler so I figured its a good time to move from SI/SO to SI/DO. Went to one of those Bring Your Own Parts stores and they were estimating $600-$800 to get back to stock SI/SO, $800-$1000 for SI/DO and over $1200 for true duel exhaust.
That seemed kinda steep so I went to the south side of San Antonio and found a guy that did all the work, new parts and labor for $320 for a new cat back system SI/DO with a new flow master muffler with chrome tips out the back. Welds aren't beautiful but they work and he did the job right on the spot and I didn't have to shop around any longer.
I love the way the truck sounds and only paid half of what the guy in my part of town was gonna charge for a stock muffler set up. So glad I drove south to find my new guy!!! Plus he sold me a used steel 17" rim with a LT tire for $40. Someone stoled my spare from under my bed but now I've got a locking system.
I love finding good deals!!!
