2a. Secondly, wouldn't it make more sense to run a single 2.25 all the way back
2b. to a single exhaust coming out the right side
2c. and running under the tank and between where the rear suspension arms attach to the frame.
3. Less bends means more consistent flow right???


1. Looks. The SVT will not look like crap because one exhaust cutout is empty! To answer the performance part. A properly setup quasi-dual and single exhaust will give the same performance when taking into account mandrel bends & aftermarket mufflers.

2a. No. 2.5" single pipe is the proper diameter.
2b. No, see #1 about looking like an ignorant ricer.
2c. The piping never "really" goes under the tank. It goes around it. Hence why 4 90 bends are needed!

3. Not exactly. Less bends = less energy lost = better exhaust velocity = better performance. So yes less bends are better.

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
