Problems with Exhaust setup...
Hey, just registered but have been checkin this site out for about year now... i was wondering if any of you have dual exhaust and if so could i see a picture of your set-up, because i went to 2 shops in the past month and they said they couldnt get duals around my spare tire thats up under the truck.... i have a ZR5 Chevy 2002.... i wanna run single inlet dual outlet... and have the tips come to a 45 degree angle to the back of the truck... Any kind of help would be very appreciated....

First off, Welcome to the site and the addiction... 
For the exhaust, You can find a bunch of different posts, links, and video of duals on our s-10's just by scrolling down the "Crew Cab Modification" page and clicking on anything exhaust related. I know Bobblesmitty posted a video of his duals revving up, but I'm unsure if he has a full size spare under the truck or not.
I'd also link the various pages with video I found real quick by doing what I mentioned, but it would take too much time to link all the different set ups posted, plus I don't always link it properly. Duals can be done.

Welcome aboard ZR5onandoffroad
I used to have duals on my 01 CC before I switched to a single exhaust, but unfortunately I never got any pictures of the dual system.
I used a Flowmaster 50 series SUV muffler with a single 2.5" inlet & dual 2.50" outlets.
My local exhaust shop did not have any problems routing the pipes on either side and I was using a 31" spare at the time.
It sounds like you need to go to a different exhaust shop because the other 2 obviously had lazy employees.
I know there are a few members here who still have dual exhaust set ups, and hopefully they will read this and post some pictures. I believe BobbleSmitty is one one of them.
I assume you want a dual set up for the sound right? Just so you know a dual exhaust will not make as much power as a single exhaust. They are very close in power output, but the dual set up will lose a little low end power compared to the single.
I've had both on my 01 CC and when I switched from duals to a single I noticed a little more power, however I will admit I did like the sound better with the duals.

I'm typing this the second time... my first post didn't go thru for some reason so you get a shortened version now. V-Force Muffler, 2.5" pipes, single inlet, single out let, Y pipe attached after muffler. Cost $200 (not including black chrome stainless steel tips). Custom Setup. Took about a little over an hour to install.
Dual Exhaust Video
I love the sound of the exhaust. You can hear it inside the cab on the freeway but it's not unbearable. You can hear me coming from nearly a mile away! I set off car alarms in the parking garage at school with out trying.

The problem I have with that type of exhaust setup Bobble, it is so easy to crush those tips.
On mine(pics in my sig) I have the tips up in the rear rockers.. leaving maybe a inch or so of exposure with no chance of damage.
Something to think about..

Yea, I have thought about that, but I am never in a situation to have that happen so it's no big concern. I had thought about routing the tips thru the bumper... Like cut holes in it and have them come out that way.

i have a single 3'' in duel 2.5 out 40s flowmaster normally have a 30'' spare up there. sounds great . my exhaust guy had no problems at all and it only took him a 1.5 hours and i had it back. i dont like the look of duels coming out the back. so my duels come out the sides almost in the factory spot but both sides
