Has anyone tried running 2 OEM mufflers? Would that work, have the piping done so it splits into 2, wraps around the sparetire well and somehow find a way to keep it level like the first OEM muffler? Am I making any sense?

I have a dual exhaust that I had done locally. It's similar to the one they sell at Customenterprise. It cost me a total of $210 including the 3.5" tips that I bought separately. It's one muffler (a flowmaster clone) one 3" inlet and two 2.5" outlets. The muffler hangs in the orignal location and the left pipe runs behind the bumper. I've had it over a year and have had no problems with it. It sound more like a 350Z than a Mustang. Just enough sound to notice it's not stock. You can check out some pics of it at

ULTRA MAX,

The car looks awesome... Could you provide more details on how this was setup, such as what original piping could be from the cat back, like the B pipe and what not...

Thanks

No you cant run 2 OEM mufflers, then you'd really have to bend and crush the hell out of the spare tire well. It doesnt look odd at all from a distance because you cant see the muffler, its actually a little slimmer than the stock one so it hides nicely, all you can see are the tips. At idle it sounds great, like a V8 and up top it sounds like a 350z or G35.

THe stillen kit wont interfere with it, if you look at it closely it ends where the exhaust opening starts on the passengers side, its the same on the drivers side.

aspec0002, jhay,

I don't have a link for the muffler. I got it at a local tire/muffler shop here is SATX where I had the exhaust done. You probably can find one where you're at. This was the fourth muffler shop I had gone to. They had the flowmaster but the exhaust guy said it would be really loud. He showed me the clone and it looked identical to the flowmaster but he said it was much quieter. All the pipe ahead of the muffler is stock. The muffler goes in the stock location, using the original hangers but is smaller than the OEM so it can't be seen from behind. The muffler connects to the stock pipe using the orginal bolted flange so it could be unbolted and removed easily. He attached new pipe to the flange then coned the pipe out to attach to the 3" inlet. Then he slightly angled the right pipe to exit in the stock location. The left pipe exits right next to the right at the muffler then passes behind the bumper and then out on the left side. I had checked the setup out with him before hand so I already had the cutout in the bumper when I went in to have the exhaust done. He used 2.5" pipe for the exhausts and they looked too small/whimpy when it was finished. I put some chrome tips on the pipes but they still looked too small. I went back a few weeks later and had the 3.5" tips added on to the pipes.
