Well I have dual exhaust on mine, I had dual exhaust w/2 flowmaster mufflers on it, I liked the sound of them it was a nice sound, sound great at idle, and was sounded just as good when you gave her some gas, but it was terribly noisy. But of course I wanted it louder, so I dropped the flowmaster mufflers and put cherry bomb glasspacks on it. So now I have dual exhaust with 2/cherry bomb glasspacks, of course I have 3' stacks on my truck. I just ran the 2 1/4' pipe halfway up the 3' stacks, but my truck has a nice deep sound to it because of the 3' stacks. You will love the setup I gurantee it. If you go with Flowmaster or Cherry Bomb's it will sound great . And just FYI I have never had a cat on my truck.

 

I talked to someone today who had an 87 and said when they removed the cat on it, it wouldnt start up and was always screwed up from then on.

 

Sounds like coincidence to me Fnix.

 

im doin the same thing with my 1991 250 powerram with a 5.9L 360 im thinkin about puttin headers on with straight pipes is that goin to make a big performance difference. and do i have to have catylac converters

 

cat woulda been stock on that. weather or not you need it depends on yourlocal regulations.

 

yeah i found out that in va u have to have cats but dont have to have mufflers do u think headers and cats then straight pipe would sound good if so what header do u recommend
