Does anybody know where to look for a cat back or full dual exhaust kit that will fit a 95 with dual tanks and retain the spare tire? My muffler and cat are rusted pretty bad and I want to replace them with something other than stock. I could keep it single exhaust but that's just not normal on a V-8.

Take it to an exhaust shop and have them bend up a custom exhaust. They will bend it around anything, that's how I had mine done

When I first bought the truck in 1997 I had a flowmaster and dual tailpipes installed by a muffler shop. He did a good job, but back then the pipes and the muffler were mild steel and because he welded everything in, it rusted off on about 6 years. I cut it all off and midasized it, single tailpipe. Now the cheapo muffler and factory cat are expired, time for new stuff and a new sound. I'm just looking for a bolt on system. Doesn't have to be high dollar stainless, doesn't have to be true duals. Does have to fit around second fuel tank and spare tire, does have to be legal (cats), and does have to accomodate the O2 sensor in a proper place.
Just looking for suggestions of where to look online. Summit/Jegs don't have anything.

I'm sure a muffler shop could weld up a flanged setup if you wanted it.

sorry, I'm not sure about kits, check summit racing maybe?

Those won't work?

Then bolt this to it?

Take it to an exhaust shop. Tell them how many pipes you want, which muffler(s),where you want it to exit, and if you want tips. Get some high heat silver paint from any parts house and tell them to spray the exhaust when the job is done, or drive it home and spray it yourself. I know there are plenty of shops in the Charlotte/ Gastonia area.

Summit is one of the first places I check.
The Y-pipe and cat is pretty much what comes stock. I don't mind having stock parts at that point in the exhaust, but if I'm buying new they should be an upgrade. The Flowmaster cat-back is nice, but the pair is $615.
What I'm looking for, in a perfect world, is a nice cat-back system with dual tail pipes, muffler to be determined, high flow cat can be purchased separately, and it has to be cheap!

Turn me on to a good muffler shop. I'm in NW Charlotte, Gastonia is only 12 minutes away.

I dont know of any personally, im over an hour drive away from your location. I have been thru charlotte and gastonia and have seen them. Check the charlotte yellow pages, write down 3-4 independent muffler shops phone #'s and they will give you a quote over the phone, then you can pick one and schedule an appt.

My 2.5" true duals with dual flowmasters and angle cut stainless steel tips exiting out the back beside the hitch was close to the $400 range. It will get cheaper from that ballpark depending on which mufflers, tips, and how many pipes you want.
