I'm in the process of laying out a new exhaust design for the truck. Right now i have the 4.0 running a $20 CherryBomb glasspack bolted onto the scrawny 2in. pipe that came on the truck.. It's alright but sounds like a ricer to me. So i want to upgrade to new headers, high flow cat(s), and Super 44(s). I need help deciding how to lay it out- true dual or merge to the muffler and dual exit? True dual would keep the sides seperate- 2 cats, 2 mufflers; and the merge/split would connect right after the headers into one cat and one dual exit muffler. Anyone know what would sound better or what would be better performance-wise? I pretty much want it as loud as possible but dont' want to take away any power. I was also concerned about using one cat if it would compromise the emissions. I think there's like 3 on there now which is a bit rediculous but yeah, thanks.
