True Dual Exhaust on a 2-Door

[YukonGTmaster]

I don’t think you overpaid. I wouldn’t sell mine for less than $25k, and it has 249k miles. Lol. But that’s Canadian dollars so it’s only about 12k US. Haha! (Did your wheels come stock with Center Caps?)

I'm not sure about a 2 door 4wd but if you get under a 2 door 2wd you can easily see there is nowhere to run an exhaust pipe on the driver's side. I'd love to have dual exhaust on mine.

If anyone has, please post pics!

When I bought my 2 door 2 wheel drive Tahoe it had a "dual exhaust" on it all the way to the rear, with a 4"/6" drop. It was run underneath the rear axle, because if your Tahoe is lowered there is virtually no room for dual exhausts. I took it off and went with a Gibson cat back system that sounds good in combination with a shorty Edelbrock header.

How was the performance and mileage for the Gibson vs the tru me duals?

Sorry, never compared the mileage to the two exhausts. I added a shorty header at the same time as the Gibson and also added a Hypertech tune so no idea how much it changed. Since then, added a Whipple SC so it's changed even more.

96z71pit...do you still have your Tahoe with the true duals. would like to see the pics you said you would post.

Here is the dual exhaust configuration the original owner installed on my two door two wheel drive Tahoe. I ultimately removed it and installed a Gibson cat-back exhaust setup. It sounded bad IMHO and the rear axle clearance was not good. I'd stick with an over axle setup; there is no free lunch on clearance if you lower it.

 

[wtbtahoe]

Much better setup with the single sideout exhaust. Sounds better-less drone- and there is more clearance, although it's not great.

I have a 96 2 door and got dual tailpipes to the back, i had it done like 15 or so yrs ago, not a problem, I'll try and post pics soon

I can not find the referenced pictures of your exhaust. Where can I find them. I would like to show the muffler shop guy, for reference.
Thanks!

So, I bought a 1999 2-door z-71 Tahoe with 52,000 miles. It is completely stock, doesn't have a scratch on it and basically looks brand new inside and out. I love the truck but would like to have just a little more sound. As you guys are aware, it has dual exhaust with dual cats back to a single muffler & tailpipe. I bought two Dynomax turbo mufflers (love their sound) and took it to a muffler shop to have them chop off the stock muffler and weld in the two new mufflers with dual tailpipes, one on each side. The owner said no way, not enough room. He could run duals but would have to exit the tailpipes on the same side (passenger). I think that looks goofy, said no and left.

I know that I have seen two door Tahoes with dual exhaust. If you have one, can you post some pics and tell me how you did it? I think this guy suffers from a lack of imagination and inspiration.

Nice truck! I wouldn't worry about what you paid. It sounds like in your situation you did good. I love these 2 door trucks and you don't see many of them. I have had no less than 7 people stop me when out to ask if they can buy it. I plan on putting dual exhaust on mine as well, so I hope you get an answer to your questions.
