ok, i have a dynomax dual outlet muffler and cutout setup right now, sounds mean and throaty till you get to the high rpm's... thus my own true dual idea:

pull off the y-pipe and cat. get a high flow cat, run the pass side exhaust manifold through it through the stock exhaust system and dual outlet muffler.

then, drivers' side through a hi flow cat and either a cheap muffler+cutout setup that will be adjustable and i like that, or a glasspack/resonator dumped out right before the axle.

the result: a cheap, hi flowing, 2.25" dual exhaust system that is easy to install and you don't lose the aesthetic value that you already have if you have pretty tips.

So you'll have 3 cylinders going through the stock exhaust system, and the other 3 going throught the cut-out?

Wierd Idea...

No offense, By my honest opinion... [img]graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Bluebird is exactly right, I don't think that you want to do this due to the fast that you will have uneven exhaust pressure. If you do decide to do this, however, I would strongly suggest throwing in a x-pipe or an h-pipe. From the sound of your setup, the h-pipe will probably be a lot easier, but if you have the means, an x-pipe will offer a little better performance.

what is wrong with uneven pressure? Dominic's setup had one pipe longer than the other, if i remember correctly, and his car ran fine with it... i have a cutout on one side and a muffler on the other, no cutout=more back pressure=more even exhaust pressure, again with that H pipe it will really try to even out, i can get a glasspack muffler for $30, the cats for $140, and the labor for probably about $50... making this by far the cheapest way to get true duals that i have come across.

A lot! You do not want to have an engine running different on one bank than on the other. A few inches of pipe is negligable when you consider the restriction of the cat and muffler. The stock exhaust is very restrictive compared to any other setup you may get. Your engine would run unbalanced and rough at best.
