First off....you're talkin about a 1994...not exactly a classic...I think here in Florida the vehicle has to be 28 years old?Which seems still older than you...and me as well but I have some common sense.Second, turn your head and cough....hope you're not a homophobe cause you being such an ignoramous is gonna have a proctoligist tickling ur fun place.I don't run cats either...but when I do my exhaust again it'll get em...just cause of the conversation on this post.....Thirdly, Josh88...that is exactly how my systemlooks...the pipes comin off the manifolds anyways.....my burned up glasspacks are rightabout where your T-case is at...they're welded together too...then they dump out like a lightning.I got enough of reading science crap in High School...hell i took Biology twice (it was just so damn stimulating)I don't need a pamplet...but thanks for the concern.Now, you could run an x-pipe, or an H-pipe.....I don't see how the H-pipe really does anything(comon look at it) and I don't know anyone with an x-pipe...but I know plenty of people that run manifolds,shorties, or even longtubes that merge from 2 into 1...When you do that you can usually go to 2 1/2 inch or even 3 inch all the way....and it sounds pretty damn good.It's your choice and your truck...I really wish there was some kinda thing where you could choose the specs of your truck and the way you want your exhaust run so you could see how it sounded BEFORE you bought and assembled it..Trial and error...that's how everything in life has been done....disprove that theory.TICKLE TICKLE TICKLE

 

ok, wow, lots of reading for a simple question.

A) Yes i know i have a cat back system, im not an idiot
B) I live in MA which has emission testing so i WILL have cats
C) i simply wated to know if i needed to get headers for true dual or if i could keep the manifold.

and lastly ALL of you shut up about cadalytic converters... WE NEED THEM, THERES A REASON THEY WERE MADE!!!!

ALL states will soon require emission testing due to the hightened concern with global warming, u realize exaust fumes can kill you with the cadalytic, so can you imagine what it would be like with out them?

 

hey guess what, if your car didnt come OE with a cat, you dont need one, so there goes your logic

when emission testing is done, the test it to specs of your year. so if you have a 1969 mustang, and your testing it in 2007, they test it against 1969 specs, which their isnt any for then so that car wouldnt require testing.

so please stop talking about catsalytics, you need them if you have a more recent vehicle

and my truck may not be a Classic ("Antique" In MA) but their are not many FlareSides around, so it is very rare

 

You can run duals right off the manifolds, you don't need headers, but don't expect any performance gains over a decent single system.

 

look at my sig, it doesnt say anything about my truck having an exhaust system, thats because it still runs the stock manifolds, Y pipe and both the cokebottle cats, thats pretty much it, after that theres a 4-5 inch gap between the pipe and muffler, and the tailpipes is rusted out and sitting in a bucket in my garage. the pont is though, im still running cats on my truck.
however every musclecar i have ever worked on we have taken them off. and when i do my trucks exhaust later this year i dont know what i will do about cats, we'l see what the legislature is doing at the time.

 

Legislature or not, there's no reason to not run them.... that is unless you get a chubby adding pollution to our PNW water and air supply. You won't pinch your smallblock if you match parts properly.

 

can we quit the whining and stay on topic? Most cars can pass emissions w/out a cat anyways, cat aides it, andif you dont have one upon visual inspection, you'll fail

RTEGARDLESS im going to have 2 highflow cats etc IF i convert to true dual, no it wont get me great performance, i realize that, but i want a louder truck, no where did i ask if i was going to get better performance.

no please cut with the whining.

any more suggestions? Flowmaster? Magnaflow?

 

The response was to GodBlessMud... Hence the quote from his comment. I believe your answer has been addresed numerous times already.

 

Nextras......the people involved with the cat conversation aren't the only whiners.....take a look at your own posts.And IMO altering your exhaust just to make it louder?There ARE decible limits.....don't argue with that..all it takes is the right DOT officer (IE and A**HOLE) and you'll be red tagged(that's fancy for...sitting on the side of the road waiting for a towtruck and having your truck monitered where it is(until you alter the exhaust to make it quieter))would you like yet ANOTHER answer to your question?YES you can run true duals with your manifolds....would I?hell no, the exhaust won't be near as efficient(IE cracked manifolds) so why not find a pair of longtube headers?only thing you'll have to do is notch the passengers framerail a little.....magniflow is too quiet..you want loud and a lil more juice?slap some free flow cats and some 40 series flowmasters...you want annoying?free flow cats and dynomax bullet racing muffler....those are louder than mine on the same motor...mine's got burned out glasspacks...or you could do glasspacks run em fer bout 10 minutes then shove a waterhose down the pipe.......and please,PLEASE don't ask me to answer your questions again.......I don't save my LONG posts.

 

no need for a long post, save your .02 cause you made yourself look like a moron. I'm not asking any ones opinion of catalytic converters am i?

As for loudnes, the shop that id take it to wont let it get past a certain decibal level anyways or else theyd be held accountable for. I dont want to get headers cause
A) they cost too much and
B) gutta pay for labor

grant it i have a hook up, but im not pushing it.

and Mr. M i know what who your post was reffering to but to discuss whether or not to use catalytics in my thread isnt really nice, considering i was asking if i could convert to an xpipe for true dual NOT about heath concerns regarding catalytics

 

Your question was answered in this post, and many other previous posts. I apologize if this hurt your feelings.

 

I think Magnaflow makes a two in/ two out catalytic converter if you want the true dual setup. Probably going to use one of these when I re-do my exhaust system......

 

feelings hurt, no. but its annoying, when you administer a few forum boards and see this everyday it becomes the same agravating crap..


i'll look into the magnaflow cat there, sounds interesting, but is it high flow?

 

Hey...in life you gotta be sumthin difference is........I coulda been a ******** an a**hole or even yourboss...which would happen to be the same previous two.Headers aren't all that expensive and they pay for themselves...I got a pair of shorties on my truck...20 bucks off a lightning that got convertedto longtubes...and I got a set of longtubes in the garage that'll be goin on the truck just as soon as I can...freebies.sure, they ain't ceramic coated...but they'll do the job.....rusty or not...sandblasters work great.I'd like to see that magnaflow cat too...although it's probly set up for a mustang.NEWS FLASH=....you shouldn't spend your time being aggrevated and pissed off......your life will be long stressful and full heart problems.......just ignore the CAT references...no sense wasting energy being a schmuck.Man, if everyone told me to keep my .02.....I'd be a friggin bazillionaire.If you post again...I'll take it your questions haven't been answered...then I'll have to reiterate.Later on......

 

you could save all your .02 and buy me some headers =P im just point out how quick my question was forgoten on the thread and soon went to the topic of catalytics..

so im thinking, keep the manifolds, get an x-pipe, 2 highflow cats flowmaster 40's and same tips i have now...
