true duals to come

[kiragyu]

well i need a new exhaust because of my engine swap (06 sohc into a 98 mazda b3k) anyway im getting a true dual exhaust. so its going to be 2 1/4 after the header to these cats http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-53005/ then down to these mufflers http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-638221/ then finishing it off with 45 degrees out to the corners of the boxes with these tips http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-690031/?rtype=10&fb_source=message. it will be done in 2 weeks because that is when i will have the funds. i will take pictures and maybe a sound clip of it too. tell me what you guys think? o also i have already ordered all those parts so they are going to go into it no matter what.

um... cool? lol.
i don't see the point in true duals on a v6 personally. i think they sound kinda weird to... maybe you can prove me wrong. load up a sound clip when you get it installed.

Uh, why does our opinion matter?

I understand dual exhaust is cool but has anyone ever explained the benefit of an x-pipe to you?

To make more buzz where there is already too much buzz?

Wicked Sludge used to be on here quite a bit, he had true duals on his 3.0 if you want to do some digging I know he posted a video on here at some point. IIRC he had an H pipe but don't hold me to it...

Frankly I like the single out with 2.5". I only have one after-cat O2 sensor, so I'm curious how you'll hook that up in your case. Also, as narrow as our frames are, if you fab up some custom exhaust set up and decide down the road to pu on a reciever hitch (it's on my to do list ) then you may run into issues. I know looking online at some kits it specificaly mentions this. Also, I don't like standing in exhaust fumes bent over hooking up a trailer, so mine is exited out the normal side location, so there's something else to consider. Do your research.

H or X, pick which letter you prefer lol.

OP don't worry, your ranger will be the coolest one in the high school parking lot.

there are actual differences in an H or X pipe also... i don't know them, but i know some mustang guys that'll argue till they die about which is better.

and as far as the comment about standing in exhaust to hook up a trailer... that's easy. TURN OFF THE TRUCK! that's what i usually do if its gonna take me a min, i don't like the look of side exit exhaust on my b2, i tried it once...

If you plan on doing a receiver it would be best to put one in before you do an exhaust, that is a good point.

As far as the exhaust fumes, if it is a calm day hold your breath. Any kind of a breeze and it is a non-issue. I think the only times it is really a problem is when it is cold out, your truck is cold and is running a tad richer than normal to warm up. A modern vehicle that is running correctly shouldn't be a big deal.

On my Ranger with a bodylift I had the exhaust ran up and over the frame and out by each end of the bumper so it has nothing to do with the receiver and is pretty far apart for exhaust fumes. IMO I think Ranger frames are a tad too wide for the scale to come out right running them straight out the back.

It is worth the excuse to listen to your truck idle in stereo as you hook up a trailer anway.

i already have a hitch i tow my duck hunting boat EVERY fall so i have already planned for that. and i know your just ****ing with me but i personally love the look of a dual exhaust ranger sorry you think its dumb thats your opinion. and yeah the x pipe probably would be a good idea but i can always change it if it doesnt work out like this. haha and about the exhaust fumes i really could care less like 4.0B2 said just turn off the truck haha. and B2 i will upload a sound clip if i can get something to record it my camera sucks when it comes to sound so we. will see.

Personally, true duals on a V6 is stupid as hell. (thats my story and Im sticking to it)

You would have to buy ne catalytic converters, make turndowns from the manifold/headers, etc.

IMHO, a single in dual out (like my setup) is absolutely perfect. You can get that amazing sound you seek at a fraction of the cost AND still benefit from some power gains.

 

[kiragyu]

how much did you pay for your whole set up brinker?

i agree. i have single in, dual out... and love the sound. everyone loves the sound of my 4.0 w/ no mufflers
