Running Duals in V6 SN95
#2
All you need is a 94-98 V6 h pipe, a shop can fab it all in for you for about $100-150.
You can also have a shop just cut out the y pipe and fab in straights, or a cheap h system, for a little more, just make sure they use quality stainless steel and not steel as it will rust.
I should note though that a mid pipe has zero performance difference for a V6, due to the even fire nature of the engine, however the type of mid pipe will affect sound drastically. I prefer the sound of the H pipe, straights are OK too. I had an x pipe way back on the day on a V6 and it was OK, but did get raspy up top.

I have a question kinda like the op's. (Didn't think it was necessary to start a new thread once i found this one.) Anyways,. I bought my v6 about a year and a half ago and never knew until today that the exhaust is illegal. I was told by the shop today that my pipes come out of the headers, through both cats and mufflers, and then they were chopped off right after. I was planning on buying a new system very soon but i dont know exactly what i need. i am wondering if i need this http://www.americanmuscle.com/pacese...it-9904v6.html . Can i just buy this system and have it installed right behind my cats http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...-violator.html. I am wanting two straight duals if its possible.

Well here's what I heard. There are 4 "cats" on my car. The top two are resonators and the ones behind that are the cats. If the cats are cut and the resonators are left on, will there be any codes thrown? Also what will the sound and performance be like then?
