V6 Dual Exhaust?

[stsmoker]

Anyone sell a cat back dual exhaust system for the V6??

you wont find one for the v6 or v8
The way the spare tire is located there is only enough room for one pipe to back over the rear differential. And then the tire is off center to the passenger side too so there is no space to get the pipe around it and then to the back.

I have seen guys that leave their spare tire out to do this.
You could route the pipes under the diff but ground clearance is compromised

The only way is a custom system, and then you have to overcome the 2 obstacles above.

you could cheat and get a single inlet dual outlet and route them both to the factory location.

I watched an episode of Gears (on Spike TV I think) where Stacy David added a turbo system to a corvette. The turbo units were installed at the tail pipes and the return from them was run up over the rear wheels and along the bottom of the doors to the intake of the motor.

I wonder if some type of duals could be run up over the rear wheels in the wheel well and painted flat black to blend in...

Why does that make me think of crushing a tin can?

It would look really good but sadly hardly worth the expense or design time.. shame!

don't mean to hijack; do you happen to know if that was an STS Remote Turbo?

I dont remember specifically... and Ive googled and cant find the show to confirm either...

What if you relocated the spare....you think a dual exhaust would fit then?

i got single in and dual out 40 series flowmasters on my 01 sport and i still got the spare tire underneath my explorer.

Sam your 01 sport is a totally different breed than the 3rd gen. With the spare in place there is no way you can get a true dual exhaust to each side, only the drivers side

If you did relocate the spair, you could easily do it. The only hard part then is trying to get past the rear diff. Do you go over or under. Over is really tight for 2 pipes. under takes ground clearance.

I did see a picture here where a guy had a really cool setup.
He had his hitch removed which left a gap in the rear bumper, and let both pipes sit in this gap. It looked really cool and hopefully if he reads this he'll post another pic cause I cannot find it. It was kinda like how the corvette tips all come out in the center of the bumper.

Next question - where do you relocate the spare tire?
Id love to have a setup like on the older broncos and bronco II"s.
But Im not in the mood for welding supports in my quarter panels and then painting. Ideally you'd want something up though the bumper that could swing out of the way.

Well I was ust plannin on maybe throwin the spare in the back. Maybe rig something up to attach to the kicker panels to keep the wheel secure since i dont use the back are to to often. and if i need spare room, just throw the seats down. I really want a dual exhaust on my Ex. so if i hafta sacrifice a little ground clearence so be it lol. And i would love to see a pic of that truck you mentioned. So if its your truck...Throw that pic up!

And here is a clip from AWDROCKS

He has his through the rear bumper too but on each end. His is under the rear diff but ground clearance doesnt look to be affected too much
