Coda Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 it looks real good jboyss so from what im reading its imposible to make a true dual exhaust because of clearance with the fuel tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 so from what im reading its imposible to make a true dual exhaust because of clearance with the fuel tank? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. it is not impossible to do a true dual, just impossible to have pipes on both sides AHEAD of the rear wheels. I did a dual setup, but both exit on the right side. A true dual system would consist of dual pipes into dual converters, into dual mufflers and dual exits. Dumps, Dual ahead of the right rear, dual behind the right rear, or even dual on each side behind the wheels are all considered "true" duals in function.

ArizonaSS Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Just my little insight on this but i was thinkin maybe you guys can try and put this Heat Screen Radiant Matting on the Side of the gas tank that would get the most heat it says it is supposed to protect up a 1000 degrees F let me know that you all think??

Coda Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 thanks for the clarification autoguy... i think when more funds arrive ill try and make the true dual happen! would there be any gains from a true dual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 There would be an appreciable gain from just changing your stock muffler out, since only one side flows out. There would be no noticeable gain between a single dual-in/dual-out mufller compared to two mufflers. Just don't forget to add a x-pipe no matter which way you go.

SS_bnoon_SS Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Just don't forget to add a x-pipe no matter which way you go. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I disagree. In my experience, a poorly placed X-pipe usually shows a loss compared to a properly placed X or H-pipe. With the one sided exhaust routing we have with Silverados, matching exhaust pulses would probably be less critical, but I'd like to see back to back comparisons first... Have any dyno proof of before/after adding only an H or X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
