Duels again....

Ok here is my problem I have the built motor and sweet paint, and a 3in single exhaust. I want true duels on the car, it has headers and a gutted cat. the car has no smog crap on it so I am not worried about that. I live in Washington state and am having a hell of a time finding a shop that will do the work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jered 1983SS www.geocities.com/smokntires

Dual exhaust is old-tech and not needed for our cars.

He said he wants them. Don't matter what is gonna be more powerful I guess.

Anyway, Why won't they do it? Too much like work for them? Is is because they are not legally allowed to pull off the cat. That's why most places won't do it. They can legally do it if you pull off the cat yourself though. It'll just be really loud going to the exhaust shop.

Duals r old tech? Please. It is because our cars r really pieces of **** that were intended for V6's and 305's and not preformance. Duals if u can get them r the ony way to go. But for our cars the single is much better because of the design.
Old tech, please!!!!!!!!!!

Dual exhaust isn't THAT much better, but its cool to have it.

Single is proven to work good too though. If good performing cars can be made with 1 pipe and muffler (3" and 4" exhaust) why add another?? To add more weight and the extra HP that an airfoil can make??
