Duals?

Is there actually any company that makes dual exuast for an 01 Desert Runner Frontier? Sure it will give it some more HP, and of course cool sound.

Try you average redneck muffler shop. They'll usually do it costom for cheaper than an aftermarket company. They do tend to vary alot on price though, so try a few. No national brands either, they tend to rape you on price.

True duals

Insaneman1731,

I just had true duals installed at Kinney"s Muffler Shop in
Bedford, Texas. I drove 400 miles round trip to get it done, but they are a class outfit and well worth the time
and money I spent.

I paid $583.75 out the door, but I had double wall stainless steel exhaust tips with a lifetime warranty instal-
led. $150 dollars of that was for the cost of the beautiful
well worth the money tips.

They used a Flo-Pro dual in dual out muffler with a pair of
12" resonators in front of the muffler. The sound is just what I wanted with a nice almost V-8 like sound and no
raspiness. Very quiet at cruising speeds upto about 70 mph.

You can view their website at www.kinneysmufflershop.com
and see many of their applications. They have sound clips
of over 600 different applications including some of the Frontiers.

If you are too far away from them you can see what they do on line and then take pictures to your local shop to see if they can duplicate.

I am not affiliated with Kinney's, just a very satisfied customer. If you are in their shop and a gardener ask Kirk to show you his botanical CD. Absolutely breath taking and
a fine way to pass the time while you are waiting for them to finish your vehicle.

I have been quoted $350 to $800 for an custom exhaust system. That was for a single exit though.

True duals

The system I mentioned above was $395 with the chrome tips. A very fair price for the quality of work they do at Kinney's.

A tad far away

Insaneman1731,

Think vacation, Texas has a lot to offer especially in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I combined my trip with a drumming workshop that just so happened to be in Bed-
ford, Texas.

I told my wife it was a sign since Kinney's was less than 4 miles from the hotel where the workshop was held.

She was not in favor of the duals, but she did seem to agree that it might have been a sign. It is the way she
puts up with my madness that we shall celebrate our
38th wedding anniversary friday.

You can still get ideas off Kinney's website and take them to your local muffler shop.

Good luck,

OkieScot

Very nice setup

Is the dual-in/dual-out muffler close enough to the engine that the shop thinks it may act well as a cross-over?

Cross over

Jerryp58,

The dual in dual out Flo-Pro muffler has a built in cross over
but I am not sure if it is an H or X cross over. This is a lot
more condensed than the exterior cross over plus it saves you the price of the cross over piece.

Rear exiting duals

Insaneman1731,

StormTrooperDFW went that route on his truck. I was going to do the same, but they would have to tie an elect-
rical wire up out of the way and I did not want to have to worry about it coming loose someday and getting fried.

I was also able to use the original hangers with some reinforcing by going out at the original exit point. I just
felt this might be a little stronger.

I also did not want to sacrifice any ground clearance since I have some locations that have fairly steep angles to try
to access.

But hey, I worry a lot about nothing.

If you go to the truck section on Kinney's website you can see the tips on the Dodge pickup. StormTrooperDFW used
the oval angle cut tips which is what I was going to do originally.
