Dual exhaust. 2000 mountineer. V -8. 5l

[Escapepod]

Want to create dual exhaust. Can I use a double outlet muffler and then. Install 2 pipes from there?.

thats not a "true dual" exhaust, but its certaintly doable. wont give much power difference, definitely a different sound though.

true dual with an x pipe would be ideal, as the x pipe allows the exhaust pipes from the manifolds-back to be similar in length, but not exactly the same which saves a large headache. if you dont have an X pipe, and the separate runs are not exual in pipe length, their sound signatures will be different and it will more than likely make the engine run poorly.

Go in the modified 95-01 section look at the stickies there is a modified exhaust thread for the 5.0, no one makes a kit so you gotta either make your own or have a shop figure it out, you can also look at my elite registry, I have a 5.0 in my sport with magnaflow front to back, I used there hi flow cats a dual in/out muffler and a set of modified ranger tailpipes,

Here's the Magnaflow "split kit" if you decide to go that way...
