Lost my exhaust system today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was driving down the road today when I heard a dragging sound and then all of a sudden it felt like I ran over a speed bump

I stopped the truck to see what I had lost and it was just about the entire passenger side exhaust system. I'm talking muffler, catalytic convertor and just about all of the exhaust piping from the manifold back to the tailpipe. Actually the tailpipe is the only thing hanging on by the rubber.
How embarrassing. There I am in the middle of the road picking up my truck. Even a considerate passer byer had told me that there was a good chunk of muffler a few hundred feet back.
Anyway, question is how much does it cost to replace an entire dual muffler system? I figure that I would replace the whole thing.

Thanks in advance for the input,
Larry.

I've used this system and had good success: dynomax.

something like that happened to my friend in his jimmy. one of his cherry bombs fell off and by the time we noticed (LOUD stereo) we went back retraced our path and asked some kids and hey said some guy pulled it out of the water in the gutter and took off!
he had his redone for like 300 i think. true duals, 2.5in pipes, flomaster 50's and 3.5in chrome tips

I used that dynomax system, the header-back version, fit very well, really easy to put in.
