true dual pics

anybody got any pics of their true duals on 05-08 f150 including any special cross-over pipes? i am contemplating this and would like to get some ideas. i have heard that the crossover on the 150 is very restrictive and that there is a fix or replacement head pipe.....can't find it again though.....help

basically, the driver's side pipe crosses over and runs parallel to the passenger's pipe past the gas tank. you generally want an x pipe right past the cats. from there, it can be routed and exited as desired. out the back, out the passenger's side, or out the sides.

Heres my true duals under my 2004. Same layout a 2005+ would have, only difference is I have 4 factory cats ( for now ) and not two, but my cats are hardly visible.





And my video has a better overlook of the overall exhaust.

thanks for the replies. darrenws6, do you have any clearer pics of the crossover or does anyone have a good pic of the better crossover pipe? i just talked to Arthur Todd at AVT Performance in Conway , SC who recommended magnaflow 5"x8" stainless, si/do. he says with a cai, sct tuner and exhaust he can increase my hp, torque and gas mileage ~4-5 mpg's. He also has a crazy 600hp+ 99 lightning that is awesome. any thoughts?

Not at the moment, its basically two bends with the sides cut and welded together. Not the best X pipe like Magnaflows, but it works.

If you go with the si/do there will be no need for the cross over, it will perform better you just wont have that true dual sound.
