Dual exhaust setup

I like it too. Solaras look sooOOooo good in black. Enough of that though, if i remember it was quite expensive for duals. Not to mention the lack of proformance and additional weight. Looks good though. :D Your car, do what you like.

with dual system, you have to get it custom since there are no companies that sell cat back in dual form for our platforms.

installation and labor will depend on which shop you go to.

As long as your doing it for looks and not a percieved performance gain you will be alright. A custom catback should run between $500-$1000.

Why don't you just put a fake muffler on the left that isn't connected? :-?

Go to a Muffler shop that does custom piping, you can get it done for cheap. Piping plus labor about $200

If you are going for look, I don't see what's wrong with putting a fake one that isn't connected. About the spotless comment, just keep the real one clean and you are fine.

It's not functional, even if it's put it on a V6 Solara. Unless it's true-dual like on Mustangs where headers are not connected via a Y-Pipe.

Don't waste your money. There are better ways to make the car look nice other than putting on stuff that are not functional.

I've been trying to figure out a way to make a dual-TRD Muffler Setup...but I dont think it's possible without TONS of cutting, remolding, and such. I think that would be pretty nice however.

eh 200 seems a bit high..go to a shop owned by a minority meaning hispanic or asian...offer them cash...and you can usually get a goof low offer...for the exhuast work...
