    Yea I hear ya I remember you saying you arent getting it until you need it.. We will see Saturday what I end u doing, assuming I go with just the 44, I can have both tips right next to another rather than across from one another as you said. I will play with it and figure it out, either way it needs to change from what it is now

    A true dual like what you currently have will never sound good due to the back pressure. You need some sort of H or X pipe in there. I know this isn't finished and you have a few kinks to work out but you will get it how you like it.

    Bobs exhaust sound really good now. He swapped in a two chamber flowmaster stainless steel race muffler in place of the MBRP muffler. His is all 3 inch stainless from the cat back.

    So do you think if I did an H pipe then the D/I D/O muffler with pipes straight out it'd sound good or do you think I need the rears still?

    Your DI/DO muffler is going to be close enough to the headers so you shouldn't need a crossover pipe. The muffler works as the H pipe in that case.

    If you werent adding the D/I D/O muffler, then I would recommend just adding either an H or X pipe to what you currently have. If you are definitely adding the D/I D/O muffler then an H or X pipe wont be needed.

    Ok perfect, Ive been doing a lot of thinking about what Im going to do, adding the D/I D/O is definitely happening, it comes in tomorrow. So installing that and may just to straight pipes right next to eachother like Matt suggested, I think his word was equidistant? hahaha I hope this gives me a sound I want, honestly not happy right now with it but I keep telling myself its a work in progress
