I bet it sounds like crap...

No haven't ever seen one done yet, been around here a long while. No aftermarket available either. It would likely still require an X pipe and or X pipe muffler.

Sound? without some pipe tuning? problematic most likely.


Otherwise why add the extra cost or weight? Extra pipe/mufflers/engineering without any real world benefit IMO.


If it is more for looks...than a single into twin split tailpipes might work for ya...

Nope, not for looks, it'd be hidden anyway, maybe just over the axle. An X pipe would defeat the purpose, I'm curious about the sound. Maybe gtr like? An even fire engine doesn't need an x pipe.

A crossover is mandatory. Or don't bother as the lack of scavenging potential lost makes the whole thing an exercise in futility other than looks and bragging rights.

And I agree - it WILL sound like crap.

Reckon ye needs to hit the books.

For the record - true duals includes the use of crossovers in the non-hilljack non-redneck definition, But since the letters 'H' and 'X' are not in yer average hillbilly's vernacular it's no wonder they are omitted from said's sloped forebrains....

This ain't no hillybilly engine, crossfire v8 or Harley, this an even fire 60 degree v6 turbo. Don't think you need an x or h, unless you are tuning for a different sound.

I don't need to think - I know.

BTW - firing order - 1-4-2-5-3-6.

Yeah, it's an even firing order. It'd sound like two 3 cylinder engines running in parallel. Just like the flat plane, even fire, gt350 will sound like two 4 cylinder engines running in parallel. You know what, whatever, it was just a question. I really don't feel like mud wrestling with a pig.

Those exhaust systems aren't true dual exhausts. Listen to the videos of the new ford GT, I'm not sure if the exhaust is true dual, but it sounds awesome.

Well, with that attitude, I'm sure this post will do you no good, but I can't help myself...

Your information is not accurate when applied to turbocharged engines. You could run the turbo alone with absolutely no exhaust piping after it - all necessary turbulence is created within the exhaust manifold, pre-turbo. Sorry, them's the breaks.
