I have always taken offense to the term "true dual exhaust." It is a divorced dual exhaust, it is no more or less true than any other system that eliminates the Y pipe.

True Dual just confuses the newbies.

Reason I stated true dual is keep in mind there are a lot of y pipe "dual systems" that are not true dual exhaust. Wanted to make sure I separated the difference.

So do you punch random people in the face that mention "True Duals?"

When it's proof read and edited, go ahead and make it a sticky, by itself, and close it. Delete all replies so it's info only.

It's already a sticky, I redid all of the tech stickies and made it a lot more "user friendly" per say. It's a sticky that links to this post.

Needs editing before you get some noob "owned" on another forum :P

Example:
Long tube headers are longer than shorty headers as they go further down towards the ground. This extended length gives the air more time to cool and stabilize before combining in the mid pipe which allows for more power and sound. Power gains will vary depending on the supporting mod of the car, but generally speaking a stock sixer with shorty headers will gain 1 rwhp, and that's iffy, and a stock sixer with long tubes can generally expect to see a 3-5 rwhp gain, remember these numbers are with no cat back exhaust work. Also, long tube headers require a shorter length mid pipe, so a standard mid pipe will no longer fit.

And:
This should probably talk about the actual effects of long tube headers (scavenging due to primary length, and exhaust pulses). Doesn't have anything to do with air cooling.
