Any thoughts on one of these? Seems like an easy way of getting dual pipes I guess?

I reckon you could get it done cheaper locally.
I had a set of dual pipes (cat back) made for my P38A in April 2009 for around $900 by a local exhaust shop in Canberra. I'm sure you could get it done for less if you shop around in Melbourne.
As for the sound?... I even get smiles from hoons in V8 Fords and Holdens at the traffic lights

twin tips: yes
the note of a proper dual system...... hell no

Have you noticed any performance or mileage difference's Paul?
I'd get it done locally for cheaper personally. My P38 was done earlier this year - cat back in to two twin tips (4 chrome tips at the back coming from 2 pipes - for cosmetics). Cost was about $900 also.
Initially they did it without a balance pipe - meaning each exhaust was isolated from the other, but I was finding it a bit too loud like that, so went back and got a balance pipe fitted and now I find it a much more pleasing tone. Still a lot louder than stock though. My p38 is rechipped with the Tornado chip and the exhaust change gave no noticeable power gain/loss - just a lot more smiles![]()

I had some work done recently on mine By Bruce Davis. On inspection the rear muffler was found to be rusted so it was removed and replaced by a straight bit of pipe (well, bent to go over the axle!). Nice sound now although a bit noisier. Cost? Bugger all.

Thanks for the feedback guys, maybe Rons solution is easier
Junosi - I've noticed these chips are quite expensive? Are they worth it? Have you noticed any differences?My p38 is rechipped with the Tornado chip
I'm afraid I bought it like that - with the Tornado chip recently installed - so couldn't tell you if its made any difference. I haven't owned my P38 all that long, upgraded from my Discovery
I can tell you that it does appear to have more torque than other non-chipped P38's I test drove. I think the improved fuel economy might be a myth though, as I'm fairly solidly averaging 20l/100kms, which from what I've read isn't anything to proud of (and I'm not a lead foot!)
So as for value for money of the chip.... I'm dubious but would like to be convinced
