Default dual exhaust for 4.7L

anybody know where to find an H pipe for the 4.7 L to put on a true dual exhaust???
Any suggestions appreciated as I cant seem to find a true dual for the 4.7 - only split duals - they are just not what I'm looking for.

I'm also doing dual exhaust, but I'm just doin a Y pipe back. But I also have a question. I also have the 4.7 but do I just do it straight back from there? What I mean is, do I even put a muffler of any sort, or a glass pack (sounds stupid I know) or do I leave it free flow? I want the best sound possible.

what your doing is a split dual exhaust - you should get mufflers they will keep you legal - there are a lot of freeflow mufflers you can get and they all have different sounds - the pipe size will also determine the sound you get - what I am trying to do is get a true dual exhaust to maximize the effectiveness of my intake system which isnt complete because i am looking into a 70mm TB - to me sound isn't that important - im more concerned with performance and MPG

Ok here's a lil bit more info for ya. I bought my new 04 with the 4.7L and at 1200 miles had a new exhaust installed. Its all custom bent, non welded, and is H pipe version. I have the Flowmaster American Thunder 40 series with 2 chambers. I get some interior resonance, but the head turning[sm=groupwave.gif] and thumbs up make it absolutely worth it. I also have both pipes exiting under the rear bumper. I will post a pic when I can if you would like. Let me know. Also the place that installed this was a local Meineke muffler shop. Check em out, they have lots of answers for ya too. Oh yeah by the way, I really shocked the Meineke guy when I purchased a set of 24"x2 1/2" in x 4" out exhaust tips. They really make my DAK BARK![sm=badbadbad.gif]

so far it looks like I will have to have an exhaust built. I was just hoping to find bolt ons due to the fact I am a mechanic and have access to the shop and my own tools. That is why I'd like to find an H-pipe for it and then go from there. I'm still looking.
