X, Y-Pipe Question
Please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject but I need opinions and suggestions from anyone interested. I am getting ready to order Pacesetter LTs, non-emission style and my question is as follows:
Is there any reason that I cannot just have headers, an x-pipe (bye bye cats!) and turndowns before the rear axle. I know this is similar to true duals but Im not going to be running any mufflers at all..just open headers and an x-pipe. I plan on deleting the AIR, EGR amd CATS after the install. Is there any issue that I should be aware of in the programming, SES light problems, O2 sensor issues or anything else. I am not worried about the loudness or emission.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

No reason at all. It'll be a true dual exhaust but just without mufflers. Just get an X pipe kit like what Summit and Jegs has or buy an X pipe and have a shop run pipes back from the headers to the X and a little after and put dumps on.
