true duals or single in dual out
Hey guys I stoped by a local exhaust shop today and was getting prices on exhaust. I wanted to go with true duals but the guy stated i would blow out my cats and distroy them so he stated to go with single in and dual out . So Im on the fence I never heard that before and its a brand new truck . Oh its a 2010 fx4 .I only have 6000 ish miles on it. So can anyone out there have true duals on a newer truck have any problems .Give me some feed back on this subject. What should I do . I would really like some idea on whats right and the best thing to do. thanks alot

Sir, you can run a true dual exhaust harmlessly, depending on pipe size and bending method, you may lose low end torque, but you more than likely wont tell any difference at all.
X pipe it where the original Y was, 2.5" straight back into mufflers of your choice, 2.5" tails mandrel bend out however exit style you want through whatever tips you want.
2.25" is healthier to run on a small block for low end pulling, but 2.5" is harmless unless you tow heavy loads often.

you may get into warranty problems if your touching the cats now, and thats even if they decide to give u hell for that cuz otherwise they may not find out...anything after the cats and they shouldn't say nothing, except a nice compliment maybe for sounding like a truck not a car

One of the first setups I did on my last truck was a SI/DO flowmaster. Kit was cheap, like $300 and bolted right up. I liked the sound, wasn't to crazy and out of control, yet sounded good. I have since switched to magnaflows on this truck, not true duals yet, but like the sound of them. If you have the money to set it up right, true duals is the way to go in almost any case. You can keep the cats and it will still sound good.

I actually would have done Magnapacks originally, but $50.00 for 2 Bullets, Impossible deal to pass on. My next truck ( an '08 FX4 Lux Supercrew 6'5 bed i'm currently looking at ) will get Magnapacks if I dual it.

Same here, asked about true duals and shorty headers and 1st was told that it is "illegal" to add headers before you reach the 80k mile mark???????? Then he steered me toward single in dual out with tips for $390. I have worked with this shop before on other non-exhaust matters (they are a multi purp perf shop) so I know that they are good. I asked him if there were any other option and he was like not really but the L-word started to come into my head with this guy.... I just dont get small business owners...if someone came to my small business and wanted work done and wanted to of course pay me to do it I would be all over it man...I need to open a business....you would not believe what I have been through trying to get work done at my house...I usually then just end up doing it myself...Lazy stupid people suck!
