Single Muffler vs Duals
So i'm going to be in the market for a cat back in a month or so for my 01 ss but i've been seriously tossing around the idea that one muffler will offer better flow and performance than dual mufflers. I've never really understood the idea of collecting two pipes into one then spliting them up in the back for two mufflers besides looks. I just don't know what the bad side effects of this would be as opposed the good as far as sound goes, or if it would make any difference performance wise. I see better flow but could it drop back pressure too low or cause drone?

Ever heard of an X pipe or H pipe? Combining the exhaust is best way to make sure you have equal backpressure on both banks of your engine. You could go with one big pipe If you wanted to but it will sound different. I dont think one will flow better then 2. They would prob be about the same.

with our cars it really doesn't matter, you're not going to be making enough power for it to matter so you can do whichever one you like better, most people prefer duals on montes because there's cutouts for the tips, it looks weird with just one tip.

put a new exhaust system on my wifes 2003 3.8 Monte ss now she wants some sound can I get away with putting on just the mufflers instead of going from the cat back

We really don't have any restrictions in our exhaust in the cat-back, one pipe or 2 pipes out the back, it is just for looks.
