exhaust again
I know there is an awful lot of exhaust questions and topics on this forum but the one that there is not a definite answer to is whether or not dual exhaust on the 6 helps or reduces low end torque or if there is any change at all either way .Does anyone know FOR SURE 100% about this ?? I want to put duals but absolutely do not want to lose torque
Thanks

RE: exhaust again
I've been here for nearly 1.5 years, and I've never seen any dyno sheets for the dual conversion. I doubt anyone is 100% certain of any performance loss. I've heard that less back pressure reduces low-end performance, but I'll bet you won't even notice it. I'm doing the conversion anyway, for looks and sound.

RE: exhaust again
OK this may be cheesy and I can take it if it is but I agree that the duals look awesome /!!!!
And if there is the chance that te reduce tourqe why not just bot on the left muffler and cut the bumper (of install a GT one) for the look while still maintaining the back pressure that our motors need. Sounds logical maybe too logical and cheesy. Let me have it guys!!!LOL

RE: exhaust again
I asked the muffler shop about the performancewith duals. Like would it get better gas mileage.....he said it would because the engine could breathe better.....also the engine would stay cooler.

RE: exhaust again
Yea, I'm not taking a chances when I get my done. I want duals, like the look, so I'm going to do the Y-back. Basically, you just but another Y to the one that is already there and you've got duals. Some people are saying this is an X but I don't think so.

Relax.....many V6 owners have done it and are happy with the results. I think if you get a reputable muffler shop to do the install, they will stand by their work.

Yes, cutting the bumper and installing a non functional muffler is cheesey.

I was going to do it myself if I did it.
