The right way would be to have an X or H pipe, you install the bung in the center. If you don't have that, then you are stuck to putting it in one side only.

And if you use an H pipe, it better be a SHORT one.

For our application it doesn't really matter, stick it in whichever side is easiest.

Where would the H go, before the cats and upstream O2 sensors?

H goes before the cats, Pre-cat O2 goes in the center of the H.

Well while were discussing true duals, I don't like the idea of seeing 2 pipes out the back bc everyone who gets aftermarket exhaust gets dual out the back. Would it be ok, if I ran true duals that turned and joined into one pipe right before the side and was a single side exit? What do yall think?

Then why not run a single three inch exhaust? Flows about the same as dual 2.25......

Idk, because wouldn't true duals (2.5") and headers run better than a single 3" exhaust?

And 2.50 is more or less too big and you'll lose bottom end , without doing other mods.
