Well if u have the exhaust dump under ure car, ure gonna feel the rumble and get fumes in it. Fumes can cause lots of problems, if u have the exhaust dump out to either side then u should be good.

You might not have enough space for two mufflers where you are wanting to put them... There's not a lot of space down there...

those arent true duals...true duals = pipes are the same length

but that is still dual exhaust....make sure you use 2.5" pipe and might as well put a h-pipe in there.....some dynomax bullet mufflers would probably work best in this situation. it will be loud, but for some people like me, that isnt an issue

not to mention the fact that not having any tips will make the police wish to have a word with you. granted you have an exhaust system, but they won't know that and will want to question you about the apparent lack of an exhaust system.

technically a true dual exhaust system has both pipes the same length. ie the exhaust pipe coming off the drivers side header is the same length (give or take a few inches) as the pipe coming off the passenger side header. you system is not like that, so you simply have dual exhaust. true duals would be better, but there is nothing really that wrong with your system. it is similar to the factory exhaust, except there is no y-pipe and as a result, it uses to mufflers.

i have a true dual setup on my car. i have longtube headers that dump into 2.5" pipe. there is an h-pipe between the 2 pipes. the 2 pipes are the same length.

Design looks doable, however you will run into clearance issues with the tranny cross-member when you bring the driver side pipe across to the passenger side. There is enough room to mount Dyno max bullets right on to the reducers, then all you need to do is run pipe out to each side where ever you think it looks the best(in front of rear tires works good).

True dual exhaust refers to the fact that the exhaust never Y's at any point (excluding an X pipe). It is a term people use because a lot of people think that dual outlets on a muffler = dual exhaust.

It would be ideal for the exhaust to be the same length, but if you put an X or H pipe in that should balance out the exhaust.

fume problems if it exits under the car , i dont think so , i dont know if you guys sit in your cars and try to get high or something but my dad has a trans am with duals and it dumps right before the rear alxe and their is no problem with fumes. he's had this set up for years and no problems, maybe if you sit in your car and play with yourself and try to get high on fumes , but otherwise thiers no problems.
