Re: dual or single?

depends on a lot of different things, but probally single. Reason:

1. should be able to buy an aftermarket bolt in kit. There isnt one for duals.
2. it will make just as much power as duals
3. unless you have exhaust tubing, and know how to weld, it will be cheaper

Re: dual or single?

2.8? prob not worth the true duals... you prob won't make any power... maybe even lose some... and a well thought out 2.5 or 3" system will work a lot better and give you some good gains

Re: dual or single?

If you do know how to weld and have the means necessary a dual on a 2.8 would only need to be like two 2" pipes which would retain excellent ground clearance, throw a couple of mini-turbo mufflers on it after the axle with a h-pipe, and you'd have decent sound and a pretty trick system to show off.

Or you could be like everbody else(myself included) and run a single with dual tips.
