Been thinking about an exhaust set up on the truck. I did searches...this is not your normal what muffler shoudl I run etc. So...got to thinking something custom. Get rid of the factory y pipe and run a true dual set up. Run 3" from the factory headers to a 3" x-pipe....then into 1 muffler, a magnaflow 3" Dual in, dual out, then back out the rear....I have always had performance cars and used to true dual exhasut, the sound etc. I got to wondering what it would be like running 1 muffler when everything else is dual, even though the muffler is dual in/dual out? Any opinions or thoughts?

 

My HEMI I went cheap for some mild sound. I just replace my stock muffler with a cheap glasspack and left the resignator. I don't really notice any power change but it gave a good sound at about 3500 rpm.

 

i dont see the point of going from an X pipe to a DI/DO muffler. kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me. i would say do one or the other, not both. either have an X pipe and 2 mufflers, or no X pipe and a DI/DO muffler which acts sorta like an X.

 

+1.....

 

to be honest i dont see why you'd do a complete dual exhaust and leave the stock manifolds...

 

Yeah after thinking more on it with some more research I kinda fig. that it would work agiasnt it self. I wasnt exactly sure how the dual in/out mufflers worked and did some searching on them. Thanks!


Im sure there are plenty of gains to be had even with stock manifolds. There must be a reason that many v8 performance cars dont run single exhust, I have had camaros and mustangs both with long tubes and factory and shorty headers all with dual exhaust, so I know a little about exhasut etc....just never knew much about how a dual in/dual out muffler worked....now I know
