I have a 05 dodge stratus sxt v6 2.7L with a new aftermarket short ram intake

So i have two questions.


1. Can a stratus be turned into a dual exhaust using a Y pipe or is there no room under the actual car for the Y pipe and new exhaust piping.

2. This sorta goes off question one as well... currently I have the 2.25'' stock piping. I am wanting to increase my piping size to 2.75 or even 3''. I do not know much about piping so i need some insight on the differences and if they can do it on my car.

Side note: I am sorta new to the car terminology and looking for a fun project. I wanted to get some bigger piping for much louder deeper tone. ( I am not looking for performance, just sound really. Its a stratus, it will never be that great)


Also, if i were to even get 2.5'' piping, I was looking at a 16'' cherry bomb glasspack as a muffler. Just a thought.

Please dont rip me apart lol. Just trying to learn more and see what my options would be. My brother has an srt4 and encourages me to get 3'' piping like his car so thats what i am going off of.

Thanks guys

 

well, getting larger pipes won't do too much for sound (as far as making it deeper). You may want to look into a performance muffler, or the glasspack you mentioned, to "tune" the sound to a lower frequency. But that's more on the engine than the exhaust. I would also think that splitting it to dual exhaust would be limited due to suspension components. Take a look and see if there is a path.
