True Dual exhaust read me. pics/and share your information.
Read before aksing questions about true dual exhaust.
Here are some questions and answers that some of you might have if you’re thinking about true dual exhaust.
Will I see more horse power over a Y pipe and catback set up?
-the answer is yes, the exhaust will flow better over the Y pipe system if you are going to use the X pipe or H pipe for the cross over, the X and H pipe make the exhaust flow much smoother and has a better note to the exhaust sound.
Can I run true dual’s over the axle?
-Yes you can run them over the axel on the passenger side of car and out the back of the car (using the muffler of your choice)

The system below shows use of an X pipe over the axle using moroso spiral flow mufflers that can be had for about $40 a piece.
Will I have clearance problems with true duals?
-the answer to this question depends on how well your shop does the install of the system, I have seen some applications that only have a few inches of clearance and scrape, while others have NO clearance problems at all. Some advice is to NOT have passengers in the rear seats when u are running a dumped exhaust being that the car will sag and can cause the exhaust to scrape the ground.
Should I run 2.5” pipe or 3” pipe?
-2.5” pipe can be run for applications that are producing less then 500hp, but what pipe u want to run is all up to the person getting them installed the 3” will flow a bit better but you much that much of a gain over the 2.5” system
What mufflers should/can I use?
-any bullet style muffler can be used, or you can opt to go with the Flowmaster 1 chambers these are referred to as “10” series delta flow race mufflers. Which in most people’s mind produce the best sound, being very deep and aggressive like the older muscle cars of the 60’s. Do NOT think since these are flowmaster mufflers that they do not flow well they are a one chamber design and used in race applications, they can handle up to 1,000hp.

Can u run cats with a true dual system?
-Yes u can run cats with a true dual system, if your state requires you to run them.
What is the typical price of true dual’s?
- Depending on the shop I have seen dumped systems run anywhere from $300-$800, and have seen duals that exit the rear go as high as $1,200. I found a shop to run and hang my pipe for $125, plus my parts were about $350 to have the set up.
