Hello all,
So I have a 1966 Mustang with a 200 ci 6 originally out of a 78 Fairmont (not really critical info I guess, but just painting the picture). The guy I bought it from originally put a set of headers on it (maybe just one header is the correct verbiage? even though its 6 cylinders split into 2 pipes? Anyways). Not sure if this is the actual part that was put on but here is a link to the most accurate depiction I could find with a quick google search:
My main question is, is it better to run my 2 pipes separate as a "true dual" setup with 2 mufflers that are both "One in one out"? Or is it better to run the 2 into one muffler that is a "Two in two out"? In all aspects other than price. So, sound quality and engine breathability or flow, etc?
The eventual goal later on down the road is to install a couple exhaust cutouts for the occasional times I want full straight pipe sound. Currently that header is the only thing installed, with those little pipe extensions that get the end of the pipes just barely past the threshold of the firewall. Needless to say its pretty loud.
Thanks in advance,
