I'm not too worried about it. Just doing a little research before I decide what to do

Alright so I am finally getting ready to get this done. I am thinking 3" stainless all the way back..only thing I can't decide on is either the XR-1 or Bullets. I am looking for a nice deep tone. So what do you guys think?

faster150 had his dual exhaust exitingbehind the rear wheel and his exhaust was discoloring his bumper because his truck was running lean




my greeb truck has had dual exits in front the rear wheel for almost 5 years, same rims, no issues

do a borla xr1 if your planning for all stainless no questions asked the bullet is aluminized steel it will rust in do time

if you plan on doin a 3" replace the factory Y, with a magnaflow Y check out my thread for pics i just installed a 3" exhaust on mine

I am pretty sure it is 3" from the cats to the muffler now. I measured the in side of the muffler and its a 3" so I was guessing that Roush had already stepped it up. Even if not a 3" Y isn't too expensive.

I didn't relize the bullets were aluminized steel. So XR-1 it is. Thanks

Now I guess I need to decide if I should just go for the true duals or siso with a Y.

id do 4". and black will look sick to complement your theme! if you have single rite now try out the dual, it has a nice echo, and an xr1 will be awesome!!!
