Anybody got their true duals? I am thinking of getting the 2.5" side exit for my 4.7 liter. How does it sound? do you like it? The most important question is how hard is it to install? They also offer many different variations with the kit, tailpipes no tailpipes, cat no cat, don't know which one to get.
I am fairly handy and so is my pop, we do all the work on the cars ourselves.

Follow my page and look for exhaust tech and view the videos. It is a great system, with incredible sound even with Flowmaster 50's! The engine spins like a wild demon with this system and the stock mech fan removed.

Just beware, Scott lied about the system fitting my 2004 and it cost me an extra $200 for proper fitting.

P.S. Sorry, Scott but you never contacted me or even followed up in over a month.

Yeah, apparently just like many other aftermarket parts suppliers for our daks GSmotorsports is shady about returning calls or e-mails, it really baffles me how these aftermarket parts producers expect to sell anything when they can't even take 5 minutes to talk to potential customers, I seriously have never encountered this amount of poor customer service until I bought my dak and tried to customize it, go figure.

mine was..relatively speaking...on my r/t.
did it by myself on my driveway in about 6 hours start to finish.
wd40'd old studs night before.
used sawsall to remove old pipe.
u-bolted everything super tight..few days later paid $20 to have it welded.
took a long time to get it..port plates were'nt sent at first...but not complaining..is what to expect from a startup. and it was totally worth it sound, power and quality wise. IE..i bought the right exhaust the first time around..very happy with it after 6-7 months.

Anyone done this on the 4x4/AWD QC? I've emailed them twice as to whether it fits, but did not receive a response.

From their pics the X-pipe is right where the xfer case is.

Hi Ruben,

You are correct, we did not realize that the 04's had
made a change on the stock exhaust manifolds outlet
size from 1.7/8" 99-03 to 1.3/4" on the 04's

you also had different pipes fabbed up and to be
truthful I am sure you would agree some of the charges
you are speaking of are associated with the changes
you wanted to make in the exit pipes on the kit

Sorry guys I am only 1 person, ruben has been very
helpful and any futher kits for 04's and up will be correct

I know one thing he is extremly happy with the
performace of the kit....Ruben please call me we will
help you out on some of the install cost, these 15 hr
days are killing me and I dont have your # near

we have sold many kits 99-03 that fit perfect

Ok... to save face Scott, your system is great and my website write up should prove that one.

But, my receipt was for over $200 worth of work. It was for $315.11. So I am only holding you to $200.

Had to clear that up for the hundreds who read this forum. :)

Message:
Scott, could you explain, or update your web site to reflect, how the kit works on a 4x4 since the xfer case takes up the space where the X-pipe goes.

I haven't thought that your kit was an option for me due to this. I would like to understand, so that I could consider GS M.

By the way, I emailed this same question last fall and this spring to the Sales@GS... address, and received no reply.

Scott has promised me parts for my viper brake kit since before easter. Last Wednesday, April 14 he emailed me and stated I would have a tracking number in the morning. Starting Friday April 16 I tried contacting him by phone. I have called and left messages 20+ times. All of them polite. He has not called or emailed me. Something fishy is up. On Tuesday April 20 his voicemail box was full and accpting no messages, today it has been cleaned out and is again accepting messages. Anyone who considers dealing with this man should know what to expect.

Scott almost always answers the phone when I call him. And the few times he did not he ruturned the call within minutes even if it was from different numbers.

I ordered my 2.5 true dual exhaust a week ago and got the confirmation for the send date on the 16th that it will be shipped on May 5th. I sent a few questions to GS Motorsports, but got no reply. I'll just post here to get the answers I want:

1. are there extensions provided with the kit for the O2 sensors, or are they needed?

2. What type of mufflers are on the black Dakota on the video (race mufflers or street sport)?

3. What is the estimated delivery time to Houston from the time it is sent?

I will not buy anything from Scott again. Back in January 04 I purchased his duel feed fuel rail kit. After three weeks I called him to check on my order and he said they were being machined then out for plating.I was not in a hurry and they looked like a superior product so I that was fine with me. It took like two months when I recieved them. the kit was incomplete, no hose, y block, and only two fittings a 45 and a 90. I called him and he said he would send me the rest of the kit.Since then I have called him every week or sometimes two weeks to find out why I never got anything more . It has been every excuse in the book from his supplier was out of y blocks, then out of fittings, then he was waiting to here from me to see what I needed , then he sent it to someone else . Each time I called he assured me he was sending it out.I even confirmed my address with him. I don't know why he wouldn't give me the rest of the kit but after five months I finally went to Barnett Performance and bought everything to put it together. I kept the fuel rails because they are very nice and I didn't want a refund I wanted the whole kit to put them on.I have done many projects and have literally bought better than $20,000 of mail order parts before,and this is my only time I ran into such a problem getting what I paid for.This is to bad because it looks like he has some really nice stuff.
