you are best off to do a fake dual. from what i can see on the 4.9l inline 6 the exhaust tapers into one pipe which then goes to your catalytic converter and then to your muffler. you dont want to replace anything behind the cat unless you have to. if you did and they came in with the strict emmissions laws that the feds are working on now you may be wishing that you didnt.
