Duals? Eveyone thinks 2 mufflers, 2 cats, 2 tips is duals. If it has a crossover it is single exhaust.

Not true duals. Guess i wasnt specific enough. They usually have a crossover somewhere.
 
so if i have 2 pipes running from the headers to the back of the truck, but i have a x-pipe or a crossover pipe its not duals?
 
Thanks for the help /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif. I bought some Edelcrap shorty headers back in april /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif I guess I can try to put them on agein. I need to buy a new Ypipe since the one I have now doesnt bolt up to the headers /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif. But a hiflow cat has potental /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /forums/images/graemlins/burb.gif

im not going to change my definition of duals cause cali says so

You're also not gonna pass smog with duals and a crossover ... tried that, didn't work. If it didn't come from the factory that way or wasn't an option, it won't show up on the computer as an acceptable exhast set up. If you want to argue it, it won't be with the guy at the smog station, you'll have to see a referee. Good luck there!!

oh i know i wouldent evan try it but i will try somthing else /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
 
Exactly what Eric said.

Yeah when I finish school and start smoggin, I might not notice that it has "modified" exhaust. /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
