sooo you have 2 seperate pipes running under your truck if so thats true duals. and you want it louder?? if so then take the 4 cats off and replace them with 94106 magnaflow hi flow converters. even louder? just cut the 4 cats off run longtube headers and run straight headers

Dual pipes is true duals.

Yes you can, many people do that such as myself, much more affordable than hi-flow converters.

I took off my rear cats, and put on mufflers so sound wise I couldnt say if it changed any. Power wise it wasnt noticeable, but true dual with no mufflers was to loud for me after a while.

Damn right theres a sound difference! Noticed it instantly, much louder, sounds as good as the Chevys do now. Economy increased 0.1mpg.
