Need pics of Dual Exaust on a SWB

I am planning too redo my exhaust and go with a true dual system? I have done some searching , but all the thread pics are no longer there. Would also like to install an original under mount spare tire, and hitch( do not plan to pull anything constantly but maybe a small trailer 1 or 2 times a year).



Thanks

Re: Need pics of Dual Exaust on a SWB

here are a couple of mine after the ls swap. It was basically the same before with the 305 except the front half before the x pipe. that had to change and I had them tuck it above the trans crossmember. Its a full 3'' with thrust baffled mufflers. Has kinda that old school sound.





here is a sound clip

probably not, but I could have easily had the muffler shop widen the tailpipes to clear one.

It does a couple things. First it will help smooth out the exhaust note and give it a better sound. It also helps balance out the exhaust pulses thus increasing hp.
