do u have true duals, cause if you do ur losing low end there. a muffler usually won't do much power wise. unless its a glasspackOriginally Posted by chadt256

true duals will pull a LOT of low end from ya, they sound good but you pay for it.

what do i need to do to get my low end back on the exhaust situation..
would 2 in and 1 out be better for power?
or 2 in and 1 out?
am i trying to lose back pressure? for power.. which means more muffler more back pressure?

the only thing you really can do is to ditch the duals. yes, you need back pressure to re-gain your low end. a muffler isn't going to make too much of a difference w/ duals. if you wanna keep the duals tho, you could merge the duals into one muffler, that would help a little

you want a free flowing exhaust...Its like the deal with cut outs...your basically runnning straight headers on my truck since i have no cats, but I lose a little on the bottom end but gain some on the big end...trade off...IMO if your happy with the sound its good enough.
so what can i do with it? i dont care about the soun i want low end back..
so are you saying just run my factory pipes into a 2 in and 1 out? and that would help my low end? or what else could i do to the exhaust to help it?

First off. Take off your tb spacer and use it as a paper weight. Then just get some of your back pressure back.

i would think that if youre sill using stock manifolds you probably would have more back pressure with straight pipes than alot of the exhaust systems around using headers....
