Wanna go true dual eventually with high flow cats. I know some of you are gonna give me some crap about that but oh we'll I gotta have fun while I'm still young right? Anyway purple hornies, cherry bomb, or thrush? All glasspacks anyone ever have purple hornies on the 3.7 never really heard of it before for us? Saw some YouTube videos of similar engines but videos never do it justice. Just looking for some opinions for now.

True dual may cause an issue as the truck is not designed that way

Well I would think 2 glasspacks would deal with part of the space issue then if there's not one avilable ill make a rear bumper and tire carrier that will get the spare out of the way then dual dumps right below the bumper...I have a lot of free time lol

Your gas tank is a huge problem and not much room on the other side to run 2 pipes and 2 mufflers.Then you get in the fun legal stuff with cats and all that.It is illegal to remove a fully functioning cat,even if it is too install another cat.

How would they know if the cat was bad or not?

Also remember how the exhuast is designed,from the manifolds to the exhaust tip, is the best way for best power by timing the exhaust pulses.By going to true duals,or even cat-back duals,will drastically change the power and unless you have a dyno to test different combo's,pipe diameters,and all that stuff you may end up loosing most of your power and mpg's.

I'm aware of a possible power change like I said I have a lot if free time I've probably read every thread on this forum and some on others lol but what do you mean by timing the exhaust pulses? I know how it like sounds and different/faster or slower sounds are most likely changes in rmp's right?
