If your going to do single in and dual out. Get a muffler with a single inlet and dual outlets. It's 1 muffler.

Or you could do a glasspack in place of a muffler. But if your going to run dual exhaust, you'll have to cut the Y pipe and make it 2 seperate pipes running and 1 glasspack on each side.

Or just take out stock muffler, put 1 glasspack on and run a single pipe either out before the rear tire, or after the rear tire.

Does this make sense? If not I'll try to explain more.

Yes if you do TRUE DUALS, where at the Y pipe you run both sides seperate. Then you can run a Single in and single out muffler on each side, or glasspacks in place.

If you just replace the factory muffler with a aftermarket muffler with dual outlets you only need 1 muffler.

Depending on what muffler you get, $150 is decent price I suppose. Does that include tips?

Make sure your inlet diameter is the same as your stock exhaust. I can't remember if it's 2" or 2 1/4".

What kind of sound are you looking for? Glass packs and baffled mufflers sound different. Check out YouTube and figure out what sounds best to you. Remember you won't be saving any money if you end up swapping it out because you don't like how it sounds!
