dual exhaust question

This is what you want I think. Keeps the sensor out of the main flow to avoid sensor fault.

 

not talking about sensor after cat. Talking about the upstream one. Im assuming it will work fine installed on one side or maybe even in centre of x pipe.

 

I assumed cats were goin bye bye.

 

Whoops, wrong quote.

 

changed title just for you. I dont know the real definition of true duals but since with an x or h pipe the exhaust gases never truly combine in a single pipe i considered it to be true duals as if you look up anything as just "dual" its always just the 1 to 2 systems.

 

Duals look good yes. On a v6 a nice single is more than enough.

I also don't like sound like a worn out logging truck. From what I've seen and experienced a v6 exhaust is gonna cost you if you want it to sound some what decent.

 

Dueling exhaust pipes?

 

theres no cat in system i have now (10" glasspack to a flowmaster 40 to side exit)

 

v6s can sound good with a proper dual exhaust. Has anyone here ever even heard a 3.4 with duals not just the usual dual outlet?

 

Forget about the "X" pipe and just come up through the bed.

 

I'm pretty sure in most places true duals with H or X is still considered true duals, some people just like to be nit picky. And I've ran v8s my whole life so I've definitely had plenty experience in the matter.

 

just to expand on my previous statement, I have always hated how these 4.0 V6s sound with any kind of aftermarket exhaust. I was driving the ladys FJ the other day and it reminded me how quiet and comfortable my truck used to be.

Currently I am running Doug Thorley Long Tubes into a custom 2.5" X-pipe that crosses over under the oil pan and is dumped on both sides of the truck, inside the frame rails through 2 Aero 2525XL mufflers with built in resonators. It is insanely loud, granted my entire cab is pretty much gutted and the exhaust dumps under the cab but its a bit ridiculous.

 

Correct. Us old street rodders realize the gains of using an x-pipe. Google it - lots of well written articles to support this. Here's just one...

Great catch, Yahoo user remarks are very credible sources.

 

Why I only trust credible sources, like Yahoo of course.

 

All I heard was a chainsaw.

 

Not as good as a chainsaw.

I've always used idea of big engine or lots of exhaust combined with large exhaust/muffler makes for a good sound.

Small engine with large exhaust = a firecracker in a tin can. At best, fart can.

 

My setup wont be nearly as loud/raspy. Pretty sure hes running straight pipes. I need to get the y pipe off of the header and the nuts will not budge no matter how much pb blaster and heat i through at them... I need to get it off either way because the previous owner welded the o2 sensor in.....

 

Ordered 2 26" glasspacks and I have 2 flowmaster 40s. Waiting on my 2" piping bends then il get right to it. Already got my x pipe welded up.
