Emissions compliance question

[fazm]

Ill put my 2 cents in here. I have a 2005 mustang v6, which is heavily modded.

My first exhaust setup was the MRT muffler, which sounded like ass. I added JBA headers, which made it louder, but still sounded like ass.

I then decided to go a custom route, and do things myself. I located a used GT hpipe, and cut and welded it into my car. I cut my pipes right after the cats, and did the same with the gt pipe, and put it in there. Slight modification was required, as i was going from 2.25" pipe to 2.5" pippe. I then purchased OEM gt drivers side pipe, and hangers for the left side muffer. I then purchased the GT flowmaster american thunder system, and a gt rear bumper cover.

this setup sounds great in my opinion. It seems to perform just as well as the single setup.

my #s with the single were 212.5rwhp and 242rwtq
my #s with the duals were 211.7rwhp and 238rwtq but i also removed my alternator overdrive pulley which was good for 3-5rwhp and 4-6rwtq on the dyno.

my exhaust setup was not the cheapest, but i did it myself, so i saved labor charges.
$270 jba headers
$100 gt hpipe
$64 drivers side OEM midpipe
$40 exhaust hangers
$279 flowmaster exhaust.

$753 total. If youd like i can post a sound clip, but since you are local, you can just come down to my shop and you could listen to it in person

Dave will he need a tune it he gets rid of the y and goes true dual?

shouldnt need one, but definately could use one to tune it to make up for the loss of backpressure
