exhaust question

Ok boys, I have a factory duel set up on my Canadian 92 1/2. The question is now that being my exhaust needs some work, do I stay with the duels or go to a 3 or 4 inch single? It has duel 2.25 right now with a factory set of mufflers.

Re: exhaust question

I'm guessing your na. The choice is completely up to you, it doesn't matter much either way. You would be better off with straight through mufflers though.

Re: exhaust question

If your NA I would run a 3". I got rid of duals on my truck and went to a 3" and gained alot of bottom end. I ran it through a Dynomax diesel muffler, sound really good nice and deep. The exhaust shop I talked to said they didnt get any more power from a 4" it just cost more and is harder to install. My opinon is dual exhaust makes power on top end and works well on gas engines for top end power. I feel and have been told that a big single makes more torque. Good luck hope this helps

Re: exhaust question

I'm pretty sure my truck is Canadian with single exhuast too. Do you have the amidship (forward) aux fuel tank? How do you run your passenger pip w/out crossing the frame rail if you do have the aux tank? I'm curious for myself.

what he said.
is your dual set-up a true dual? no Y-pipe? mufflers? if so, are both pipes running down the passenger side?
regardless, my method of duals here.

Re: exhaust question

Well fellas, yes, it is duel and that is the way it came from the dealer.No Y pipe, both pipes are on the passenger side and exit the ass end of the truck. If it is not stock, then I guess someone change it on us as we drove back from B.C. where my uncle bought the truck new in 92.
