Dual exhaust question
I know many of you have purchased the take off GT mufflers and had them installed. I already have a gt muffler installed to replace the factory one and recently got another one for the left side
My question for you guys, is the left side installed just for appaearance on yours, or is it actually tapped into the other side via crosspipe?

RE: Dual exhaust question
Would hate to be that person when it gets cold and smoke comes out of only one pipe....Hummmm
I can't back this up, I din't dyno it but I felt a slight gain in power when I went dual, that was my first Mod......

RE: Dual exhaust question
yea that's the only thing i'd be worried about lol. One night when me and my buddies just popped the muffler off but left it hanging we were driving around and a cop was behind us and you could see the smoke coming like out the side under the car lol...who knows why we didnt get pulled over

Single or duals, when you change the muffler you'll see a difference, duals show only a very small gain over just a single axleback though. Reason being, the restrictive stock muffler is crap, but the piping is actually good. And the other reason is duals aren't needed on a six, so the gains aren't there much over just a single aftermarket exhaust.

I was just stating that going dual unplugged will leave one pipe smoking while the other is not....I would think that scenario totally ruins the intended visual effect ScreaminYellow was trying to accomplish ......
Most sixers will get the same amount of performance from a single (aftermarket) than from duals...unless you do what I did, (new headers, SC, etc)..... it is all about pressure stabilization......[8D]
