Default V8 dual exhausts

The first thing I did when I took delivery of my V8 Laredo was put dual exhaust on it. Had the boi racers at Liverpool Exhaust put a new cat and twins on it with stainless tips. They had a 4.7 Landcruiser there also that day and guess which one sounded better! The mechanics even commented on how much better the Jeep sounded than the Tojo. They said when I was ready for me to bring it back and they would build me some extractors but it's plenty nice as is. I get some really nice,positive comments on the looks of the duals and the sound the Jeep has now...
I'm still looking all over the net and with my US contacts for a snorkel. No luck as of yet.

Triple 7,
I 've gotten a noticeable performance gain(judging by the old seat of the pants method) and a tiny mileage increase. Only about a 2 to 3 % increase in mileage. But the motor is still "tight" (Only 3500 km so far) and I hope the fuel mileage will get better over time as the motor gets "broken in"...hopefully!!!!!


Will post pics soonest...!_________________

Only problem with this is that you've now got two rock targets when you go offroad...instead of just one........

True, but mine is mainly being set up to tow and just a little offroading. Getting up and down boatramps and beaches is my main concern...
