True-Dual?

Does anyone make a True-Dual for the 05?

I see most systems as just a cat-back with one muffler. If I were you I would go with a custom exhaust shop. A lot will build you a true dual system and for cheaper than a bolt on system.

Good News/Bad News

While a true duel exhaust system would be nice, under federal law, you cannot touch the type, location & quantities of catylitic converters until the vehicle is 5 years old or has 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you do, you get to fail the smog test and now have to "restore" all oem components including the muffler and have it certified at a federal smog station (ask me how I know). So no, no one really does offer a real duel exhaust system- just cat back which can replace a set of factory pipes or create a duel exhaust look from the cat- back.

I have never seen a True dual exhaust for our trucks.
You could get one made at an exhaust shop, they would cut off the stock Y-pipe and run duals out from there. If you choose to do this, I would recommend an X-pipe(for 2 reasons, 1. it balances the flow of exhaust gasses 2. if you do have strict Emissions tests, they will fail you if you have a dual exhaust system without it crossing over from one tube to another.), thats what I have experienced with my previous truck, he actually got under my truck and looked. This way you would not have to mess with any cats.

How bout and H-Pipe? The exhaust shop cut my y-pipe like you said, but it doesn't have and x- or h- pipe. Is there a reason why he might have done this?
