I went to a local exhaust shop the other day and after they looked at it on the hoist they said there is not enough room.
I was not happy about that so I got under the hoist and there is room but it is tight. The guy has done this for 8 years and said it will hit the axle or get to hot being that close to the brake lines or fill neck and vent hose on the gas tank. Anyone eles have a dual exhaust put on a 2000 or newer suburban, tahoe or yukon. I hope I don't have to settle for a single put on. there is not that many shops around that have a pipe bender anymore.

no that won't change anything. if I took the spare tire off I might have a chance. But I dont really want to lose my spare. just seeing if anyone did this and how the pipes are ran. and if they have had any heat problems with the stuff on the bottom by the pipe.

Heat control is the biggest issue, but if the pipe is properly insulated or shielded in the areas of concern, you should be able to pull it off. A good reflective exhaust wrap should do the job.

I was thinking about that a little while ago. just not sure what way to go. I guess I am just worried I am pushing my luck a little bit at this point.lol I was hoping that there was a member on here that had done a dual on a coil rear end, or has atleast attemted it.

I've seen 'burbs and 'hoes w/ dual exhausts but never looked under to see how it was done.
Might check the availability in the aftermarket. Seems like I've seen them there.
Jet-hot coating will cut the temperature way down.

well I called the exhuast shop that I have used in the past for all my trucks and we are going to give it a try. ( it's kinda a far drive) he has done pipe jobs for well over 15 years but has never done one with coils in the rear. so I guess I am going to just try and make it happen. I think I will try and use some heat tape like what they use on headers. I would like to make some heat sheilds but I really dont think there will be any room for any. what is jet-hot coating? can I do it my self? will my parts store have it? about how much will it cost? how well will it work? and will it work any better then heat tape and have you used it in the past?

Header wrap will work but Jet-hot is permanent. I'd definitely put a shield for the spare like the one on the psgr side.
Used it on Corvette 427 manifolds and it made a huge difference in the underhood temp. Used it on 69 Corvette factory side exhausts. If it's put on new mat'l, it's guaranteed for life.
