Hey guys, im planning on either true dualling my 2000 dodge half ton and i would like to share some ideas and see what you think. If i was to true dual it off my shorties would it be alright if i just but the oxygen sensors in one pipe, then put a temp guage in both pipes to moniter problems. Or the other option putting an x pipe some where in there and sticking the front oxygen sensor in the middle and the back one just in one of the pipes. I would like to use 3inch pipe because im not a very big fan of snappage, but i would also like to have performance and sound. I like things loud!

 

There was a thread a few weeks ago talking about true duels and how to run the O2 sensors, not sure if there was ever a solution or not.

But I think most would suggest an "X" or "H" pipe in there somewhere.

Edit:

If it were me, I'd just true duel with some nice MagnaFlow mufflers.

 

I ran true duals and just put the O2's in 1 side. No problems. You might get a little more power/torque with the X pipe I just don't care for the sound as much.

 

H or X pipe fools the engine into thinking the collectors are actually longer than they really are, it's good for low-end grunt.

 

Can anyone describe the sound difference between the two or possibly a video of the x? I would like to keep on the performance path of things but i dont want it sounding like crap

 

Check youtube for various vids. There are tons.

 

one goes brrrraaaaaaaapppppapapapapapapapapapapa and one goes vrooooooooooooooooomommomomomomomomommo...

 

I heard that first sound after going to a Mexican restaraunt one time.....

 

LofreakingL. Exactly what I was thinking.

 

Lol! This literally has made my week!
