Go with true Duals. It looks better and sounds better and better air flow. I have sound clips of My tru duals on my 94 v6. If I ever get off my lazy but and if someone wants to hear them I will post them.

Hmm,
Good question... my limited knowledge of the sixers are going to show here.

But considering you might want to save some torque on the low end (especially running a six), I would opt for a single exhaust with a dual conversion at the back.

As my experience with base models are limited, results may vary...

Godstang gives excellent advise. He, as well as a few others, helped me make this same decision.

I have a 97 V-6, 3.8. I went with true dual exhaust. My muffler guy cut the 'Y' pipe right behind the cats, then ran 2-1/4 inch aluminized pipe into two, dual-chamber Flowmaster mufflers and Stainless steel tips.

It sounds great, looks great and gave my some extra ponies!

Default Hands down . . .Flowtech!

Go with 2.25" duals into dual cats with either an H pipe or - for better performance - an X pipe between the cats and dual 50 series delta flow Flowtech mufflers. Go to their site http://www.flowtechmufflers.com and check out the 50 series mufflers. They have some sound clips that will show you what they sound like (take into account the examples are of camaro 3.8L's). I truly believe you will not go wrong with the flowtech decision and 2.25" exhaust all the way. Going with a 3" single exhaust will only impede your air flow and reduce your back pressure too much. Besides, a 3" pipe only allows about 66mm of airflow to exit. If your throttle body is a 70mm, you have a 4mm restriction before you even start the car! If you go with dual 2.25", you have a total of 4.5" of exhaust room, giving about a 99mm airflow availability. If you are running a 70mm TB, you have an extra 29mm of room for your blower! With the delta chambers, you will still retain your back pressure since there's not a "direct" output (or straight-pipe). Too much flow is as bad as too much restriction.

Go dual and GET IT ON BABY!

Sorry niether Link works But it seems Obvious that i need Header back Duals with no Header Wraps. Mr Muffler a Close friend I have done buisness with for years can madrel bend Stainlless steel 2.1/4" True duals with Dual 6 cylinder Cats and an H Pipe Connector. Put hangers down my right side and Install Pretty Much what every mufflers I want and then Just Have the exshaust Tips Pointing Down Like the one that is On the Left side. Now He doesnt go buy estimate the price is the price without Mufflers but with Cats $650 Plus again the cost of any mufflers I choose I would truely Like to Give Her a Throaty sound Cherry Bombs where Fun On My 351 Lx But I dont think they will cut it here.

P.S. Mr Mufflers Moto Is "No Muff to tough" He offered me a T-shirt I declined

Default Hmmm . . .

Copy the second URL into your browser address line and it will work. I know it works, I just got a pair of 50 series deltas for my 2.3L dual setup

Default ok, it's too early . . .

Found the issue with the URL. When you copy it to the address line, delete the comma after the .com! I swear I've not been drinking!
