wow...that sounds expensive...I'm getting true duals myself for my 78 soon, and i can get the pipes and labour for $250 Cdn. (about $150 US)...then again, we don't need cats up here for cars made before 1981.

Is the $300 you're talking about just for labour?

Your lucky to find a shop willing to do that. True duals are technically illegal on any corvette that's registered for highway use more recent than 1975.

Are you going to change the crossmember to the one with the two holes. or are you going to run the pipe under the crossmember? I too have a 77 and I am considering going to true dual, but without the cat.
