Here's the story: I had an appointment at a reputable muffler shop that did work fo me before. Once they got my X on the lift, they gave me EVERY excuse in the book that dual tailpipes wouldn't fit. I said I saw it done before (pics from you guys here). They said it would rattle, it would melt the gas tank, they said they would only do it if I removed the spare tire and hitch. Now I drove 3 hrs. to get to this place, so I am getting pretty pissed now. I asked if them to do it anyway and if it rattled or my gas tank would blow up, I wouldn't blame them, but they refused. So I left.

I then drove around Long Island stopping at every muffler shop I could find, either no one would build dual tailpipes for me or they wanted WAY too much money. One place wanted $400 bucks just to do the pipes, that wasn't including installing the muffler. Another place wanted to run the drivers side pipe infront of my differential, I was like "wtf am I gonna do if I ever have to get into the rear end, like to service it??"

Anyway I found a shop that installed my dual in/dual out FloMo and bent me some pipes, it took the guy like 3 hours, but he did one hell of a job, they even threw in a set of tips and only charged me $225, a great place to deal with, the guy looked under there and couldn't beleive no one else would do it. He weldup everything up, put on extra hangers, really did a profesional job.

And it sounds AWSOME!! nice rumble at idle, has that FloMO sound when you get on it, and only a mellow rumble while crusing, it sounds better than I thought it would, I heard 3 chamber FloMo's before on a Bronco and it sounded no louder than stock, and I am so used to 2 chambers, I was woriried that the X wouldn't sound good, but it sounds GREAT!! I recomend this to anybody, just find yourself a good muffler shop.

I truely have a unique X now, not to many X's have dual tailpipes!! Thanks a lot guys!!

$225 for dual pipes is a really good deal. And I think you just ripped them off too

Much luck goes with great perserverance huh? I'm having mine installed next week. Single pipe though on the Flowmaster 50 Series

I got the muffler installed at the Meineke on Hempstead Tpk. in Levitown. Anybody can e-mail me if you want the phone number. Very nice to do business with and very high quaility work. Even recomended by S+K Speed.

out of the 30 (rough estimate) explorers that kids drive to my high school, only about 3 or 4 of us really care about them and mod them. well, on the first day i pull in only to see a 98 (or so) with dual pipes sticking out the back! it was sweet to see cause normally people around here with explorers just leave them the way they came, to haul their beer and friends around in
