Whats the best way to convert my car into a true dual exhaust(what part/cost etc.)

Okay i am fixin to dumb ANOTHER 2500$ in my car!!!

i am going to put the delteq system on and i also want to convert my car into a true dual exhaust(i heard that they put out alot more power than the y-pipe)

i want to know what do i have to do to do this(besides buy the x-pipe)

how much should it all cost to convert to a y-pipe to a x-pipe.
what all do i have to buy to make it work.

Take it to your best local muffler shop that has a mandrel bending
machine, plunk down $800, and have them make you a 2.5" system
that runs in the stock location, over the axle, and out through a
muffler(s) of your choice (depending on how loud you want it).

Xtra Loud = Flowmaster race mufflers

Loud = Bullet mufflers

Reasonable/Quiet = Dynomax Ultraflow (or equivalent)

and TRUE dual exhaust dont have an x or crossover.You might seriously thing about a TRUE 3 1/2 or 4 inch single.

Okay my headers are as&m mid-lenght, and i was wandering with that make a big diffrence in power rather than the Long tubes(or is it a small diffrence)

also would i have to get a custom exhuast built to fit the x-pipe or is there any aftermarket ones i can buy to fit my 95 Formula.

I think this is very subjective. I dont think they make "a lot" more power.
All this really depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. I think the AS&M' s are good headers and I would not change them. Unless I was on a quest for every single extra HP.
I don't know of anyone making a kit for this, so you'll probably have to go custom like truedualws6 said.

Well I bought a summit universal x-pipe kit and its gonna work Lik a dream....If emissions aren't a problem that is and you can get an exhaust shop to put it all on....The summit kit I speak up works like a dream if you have long tubes....Now with the mids..Hard to say.....
