ive had it for about a year.....had the tranny rebuilt, new shocks, ball joints and u-joints all around..

the exhaust has a single glasspack then it y's out to duals after. i would like to have true duals with 2 glasspacks. one just isnt loud enough, but i love the low rumble it gives. and plas the cat converter HAS to go. i just dont want to be driving with the cel light always on, and the shop will only do something from the cat back...

you think a high flow cat that y's to duals with 2 glasspacks would sound ok or would it sound better with just true duals

 

If you can get away with no catalytic converter, that's great. But seriously consider the cat-back system from Pypes - having duals will not get you any noticeable improvement in performance and the sound of the Pypes exhaust with the Violator mufflers will definitely impress everyone around.
IMHO glass-packs make a truck sound crappy; a good quality free-flowing muffler is far superior. You won't notice a sound difference between the Y system and true duals.
Not only that, you get electric cut-outs with that system - talk about loud? You can take the truck to the strip and see what it can do.

 

im not looking for performance, only than it might help to get this ****ty cat off my truck. but to me mufflers seem to be quieter than glasspacks or the like. ive had a flowmaster and this glasspack is louder than it was. and that system is like 1,000$ it would be much cheaper to just run duals with or without glasspacks, and it would probably sound louder/better. The only problem is the cat sensors... i might try the idea of tieng one to the tranny and putting one in the pipe, if that dont work, then get a highflow cat. Ive found some different highflow cats..some say they come with an air tube? what is this for?

Heres my suggestion, if you can live with an exhaust leak for a month or so take your post O2 sensor off and ziptie it to the tranny, if you have no code in that month or whenever you decide to redo exhaust leave it their.(this is what I did just to make sure it worked for me)

here is a picture of mine and where it is

 

hey thanks for the pic, i will try that and see what happens

 

sometimes redneck science and engineering is dog on amazing, but it never hurts to spend the extra buck to do it right and get cats/mufflers that actually work and have proven performance, time and track tested. JMO.

if your goin with the exhaust. id really recommend gettin legit pipes ect.. cherry bombs, no cat, tricked o2's, or anything like that ur truck is gonna suffer in some degree. performance and gas mileage mainly. and YEAH, it WILL be noticable. just throwing my pennies out there.
