Who was that guy in Blaine coming off 242 east going north on hiway 65 tonight?

Had a big banner sticker saying Fishing Minnesota We have more fun in the topper window.

ID yourself

That would be me! Hopefully I didn't cut you off or anything, was following someone to a party.

Must be the same green Tundra I seen a few months ago going south on 169 around Fleet Farm. The hubby noticed the HUGE sticker in the topper window.

To bad I didn't know about the party....I live north of Hwy 242 a few miles just off of Hwy 65. The next time anyone passes through my area are now required to tell me of all parties in the vicinity.

Too bad all the cops down in the burbs are so anal about true duals and how loud they can be, up north they help keep the deer out of the grill.

Fishn'Lady,
If you have lived in Ham Lake for a while we have probably met, worked at Soderquist's for a few years and grew up in the area.

I got a quick question about your dual exhaust Brain. What kind of dual exhaust do you have on your truck?(Who makes it) Because there is some people that in the city that I see who think that there truck sounds good when it sounds like $hit. I just want to know what is a good make of dual exhaust so my truck doesnt end up soundig like theres. Thanks

Flowmaster sounds and runs good. Just my nickle's worth. (Ice out...Line out)

It's pretty hard to get a real crappy sounding exhaust on a V-8. Most of the dump I hear is on V-6's like the 3.9 Dodge's and 4.3 Chev's.

Flowmaster exhausts are good choices, but true duals are much more impressive then cat backs.

Brian,

We've lived in Ham Lake for seven years. I grew up in Blaine.

So...if you were still bagging groceries (or whatever) within the last seven years we may have never met. Oh well.

What are true duals?

[deadeye]

True duals are where there is a seperate pipe for each bank of the engine. In other words each side has its own pipe coming off of the exhaust manifold or header. They do this because there is less backpressure than with just one pipe which means more power. I think they sound great with the right mufflers/x-pipe. I think that magnaflow makes some really good exhaust systems, I had mine done at exhaust pros in richfeild and I love it. There is no better way to get heads to turn than having some loud pipes! ><>

The dual package I put on my 2001 Yukon XL sounds very good (Well maybe it's a little too loud) with todays new engine/computer combinations you have to maintain enough back pressure or they run like dump. Also if you don't have enough back pressure the engine doesn't scavenge enough through the valves to run well. I won't tell you where I got mine done here but I had the factory exhaust cut off right behind the cats, then they welded custom bent pipe off each cat, added some good old glass packs and some big bells sticking straight out the back. It realy rumbles when you step it down but it just growls nicely at cruising speed.

Also, my business partner and I bought Yukon XL's on the same day, only difference is color, back doors and I added the duals. On the highway I get 16-17 mpg, he gets 13-14. I paid around $375 to get it done, it was well worth it.
