Has anyone tried putting a set of mufflers right where the y pipe is instead of a y or x-pipe? Do you guys think it will affect interior sound much? will it rob hp or will it be the same as an x-pipe set up. I am going to the muffler shop tomorrow and need to know quick.

Mufflers instead of the Y or X pipe?? So, you aren't thinking of what most people on this board mean by duals, you are thinking of mufflers right off the headers and nothing else? Duals work/sound best, typically, with a crossover of some type (H or X pipe). I for one am still not sure what you mean....either mufflers right off the headers or duals with no crossover and the mufflers early in the system????

sorry, I meant mufflers after the headers.

I know what you mean. Lots of drag cars have this kind of set-up, where the exhaust exits out the sides right under the doors. But, you need some sort of cross-over pipe that is used to equalize pressure. I'm not sure why it's needed though. You might be able to do something where the headers exit, about 6" of pipe, H-pipe, couple more inches of pipe, mufflers, then dumps. Could work, but that will have a ton of interior drone and vibration.

I used to have collector inserts and about 10 inches of pipe on my hooker LTs. It's definetly loud and will resonate in your interior, especially with the windows up and ttops on. I liked the sound though, not good for conversation though. I recently switched to a x-pipe setup with bullet mufflers. It's a little more mild, and still has a nice exaust note.
