Re: To dual or not to dual

3" duals can go over the axle if you relocate your panhard bar. as for duals exiting out the back, what's wrong with it? Im not particularly keen on dumping under the car (even though I have a cutout right now) You'll still have the interior resonance with dumping before the axle whereas if you exited all the way out the back it will be minimized.

Some of us don't like the smell of exhaust being dumped right underneath us, especially since you probably aren't running catalytic converters either.

The noise is much louder when dumped under the car. My exhaust is too loud with cats, bullet mufflers, and exiting at the rear.

Resonance sucks. You are going to have much more resonance with a dumped exhaust.

It looks nicer having the exhaust exit at the rear, IMO.

Having the mufflers under the floor pan eliminates more ground clearance.

These are just a few reasons If my car was a race car I wouldn't mind it. Since my car drives on the street and the track, I'm very happy I took my duals all the way to the rear.

I have almost no interior resonance, i dont smell exhaust, and i think no exhaust looks much cleaner.

The exhaust set-up i have is almost too quiet for me. Its honestly the quitest thing ive ever had on the car minus the SLP2OTL
