exhaust question?
I had an offroad h-pipe and dumped flowmaster's on my 97 cobra, and loved the sound of it. Since you just buy the headers to muffler pipe, I kept the factory mid pipe incase I needed to bolt it back on. How realistic would it be to have a removable exhaust from infront of the rear cats to tips. I have been looking at pictures on the site and it seems that you can run two pipes to the back, instead of one. As far as muffler/s, I was thinking dual in dual out magnaflow, with the factory tips. Any suggestions, or opinions? I am assuming stainless is going to be alot of cash. I'm not worried about drone, my radio will cover it up. I guess a muffler shop can weld on some flanges to make the connections to the factory pipes. Or would it really make that much of a difference going with two pipes? thanks, chris

will I lose any backpressure, removing the rear cats, and resonator? I noticed some on the cobra, but I got rid of all of the cats. Would it sound better with duals, or just one pipe going to the back? thanks, chris

The single will resonate more and sound more rice...
The dual will sound deeper and better with less resonance. However the single is lighter and cheaper...so if you dont mind the noise just do that.
Should I just start removing things like the resonator, and or rear cats, and leave the stock muffler, or just have a local shop build me a removeable exhaust, without the rear cats, and resonator, and a dual in dual out magnaflow? Or do I really need two smaller mufflers? I can get away with emmissions for now, which is why I was thinking of keeping the original exhaust, just bolt it right back on if need be. Than again, I still have the stock mid pipe with all 4 cats from my cobra, just collecting dust(never needed to put it back on), and the car is gone. I am leanning towards duals, no rear cats, and the dual in dual out magnaflow. Anybody see any problems with this setup? Thanks in advance, chris
On my cobra, I did just the catback, which sounded better than stock, but really didn't open up until I removed the cats. Than it would turn heads, especially with dumps.
I'm about to take off the secondary 2 cats off my system and run the pipes straight into the muffler, so effectively running 1 cat per pipe. Has anyone done this and found any improvement and is there any droning sound in the car/
