True dual exhaust
for true dual exhuast do you need another convertor or can it be just custom made second pipe from the orginal converter......or am i just totally missing the point of true duals and.........will i get the same increase in hp if i just add the second pipe behind the convertor without the second convertor?

Re: True dual exhaust
True duals in my book never combine.

Re: True dual exhaust
A true dual uses two cats - one for each manifold. As far as "never touching" is concerned, a true dual system can have both sides connected through a "balance pipe" that connects both sides behind the cats. This helps to smooth pulses through the exhaust system, decreasing back pressure and helping the engine to breathe.

Re: True dual exhaust
X pipe would be better.

Re: True dual exhaust
do you get inspected for cats and such where you are ?
if not then i would get long tube hedman hedders form summit for these car for 140 and the Hedman X-tensions 2.5": HED-18806 : $21.95 they are S shaped and bolt to the collectors and will get it to where you can connect straight pipes pipe and mufflers are cheap at local store good luck
