Alright, I'm a native Oklatexan that transplanted to (of all places) Caribou, Maine. I picked up a great 68 CST LWB with a 327, TH400, 3.73 posi, factory air and power steering a few weeks ago at an auction. Usual suspects for rust. Hey, I am only the second owner, though.

So, I call around to the different muffler shops in the area and ask what it would cost to hang a set of duals on the old girl. Nothing fancy. Just a new set of pipes and mufflers. The best quote?

$500.00!!!

When I put the new 2-1/2 pipes with crossover and turn-down tips on my Chevelle it only cost a little under $250! Now, I don't have a problem paying that much, but $500?!?! These guys must be smokin' the expensive stuff!
