Post TT or buttmount

OK, Im debating now on which one I should go with because the guy Im going to said Im most likely losing my AC and power steering if I go with a TT setup, but if I go with a rear mount I can keep it, but Im scarred of consequences or something since I live in NYC pothole heaven

Single front-mount and keep them both.

I have a T-76GTS in the front, and kept all stock accessories, including the stock cooling fans in the stock location. No pipes pass under the K-member either.

A twin will spool very slightly quicker than a single, but no more power capability if they are sized correctly. A front-mount will spool quicker and make more power than a butt-mount.

Realquick posted pic's of mine a while back, so you can search under his name. However, he's built a couple of kits with the same general layout. He posted some pic's very recently of one.

i believe he does, considering there are lots of them out there.

I did all my own work, but there is no way i could have kept ac and still had room for two 3" downpipes.
