single or dual?
Should i buy the single side exhaust from spintech or the y pipe dual kit.Im not going big in power or anything but i was just wondering.I WANT side exhaust no matter what.But ive heard sixers sound better with a single exhaust instead of "fake" duals.

H-pipe on mine was $20.00 more. All the guy has to do is pre-notch holes in the two pipes running out back and weld in a cross pipe.
Switch is right. It wouldn't sound bad true duals especially with Flows but with Spintechs the crossover might take a bit of the higher rpm rasp out of it - as I heard they get slightly raspier than Flows up over 3,000 rpm.

I was going to go with straight pipes, but the shop owner talked me out of it by simply saying, "It's going to sound like ****." Coming from a guy who has made a living from installing new exhaust systems on cars for a decade or two, I think he knows what he's talking about.

A true dual exhaust system has two complete sets of pipes, catalytic converters, mufflers and tailpipes running from the engine. Dual exhausts are mainly found on V-6 and V-8 motors because these engines have two exhaust manifolds-one for each side of the engine. On the other hand, a dual exiting exhaust system uses a special muffler to split the one head pipe into two tail pipes. Dual exiting systems can be installed on 4-cylinder, V-6 and V-8 engines, even if there is only one exhaust
