REAL dual exhaust

[Blue94V6]

Has anyone ever actually dualed out the exhaust on a V6? Meaning running seperate pipes off the headers to two cats and two mufflers.

I am pretty sure it is not possible to have two cats. The only way they could fit one was with that big annoying lump in the floor, unless maybe you ran them right of the manifolds and used Corvette style mufflers in the rear, that might work.

it is possible to do true dual w/ two cats.

Run the cats pretty much straight off the headers, and two pipes going back to mufflers in the back (which can be made to fit one way or another)

go to cz28.com and look up true dual. Several v8's have done it and that is your best bet for getting more nfo.

not going to be easy though

sounds pointless besides just being able to say you have it....I think it would be more sensible to run a bigger pipe back...remember our cars need backpressure too....

For any engine under 330ci, true dual is pointless..

Unless you're looking for some kind of 5,000RPM scavenging by using an X pipe - I dont see why it would be necessary. We don't even have longtubes to take advantage of it!

I have longtubes [img]tongue.gif[/img] as for the v6 needs backpressure, do you realize the fastest n/a 3.8 on this board has like NO backpressure/ open y pipe?

[strobhen]

That same person also runs a torque converter w/ a stall of over 4k rpms...

Making backpressure & low end torque rather moot.

I can see the point of a dual exhaust if you have forced induction. N/A, it is pretty pointless.

Do a lot of research before you start spending $$$ though. It'll cost you 1k easy.
