Default two mufflers in back?????????

i have a friend that wants to put two mufflers in back like the new mustang. lets say two single chamber flowmasters. what would it sound like ..... the exhaust would consist on headers and offroad ypipe going over the axle to two single chambers (or muffler of choice) anyone do this or give some advice on this.....

Theres only one way to find out
i don't think it will sound bad, infact it might sound pretty good. All exhaust sounds different. It might be too quiet though.

Flowmaster actually makes a setup that replaces from the axle back on the new mustang. It could probably be used for this too.

i have a custom made true dual x pipe that goes into 2 2-chamber flowmasters and it sounds pretty damn good. not that loud at idle, but when you get into it, it really opens up.

I actually can vouch for the Flows on the new mustang GT. They sound amazing over the stock setup.

?? It will not fit, and if it does it is going to cost a fortune to fab up, plus it would all be worthless with flowmasters on it. you might be able to squeeze to magnaflow bullets under there, but I do not understand the login here, basically it will sound the same if not quieter, plus it would add more weight, hang real low and look not to good in my opinion. even true duals do not hang two out back

Somebody on here has a custom dual muffler setup (I think he used Remus mufflers made for a 8 series BMW or something) and it sounded and looked BADASS. I say go for it, because I was thinking of trying it too...

mine is fabricated by a local exaust shop for a little over 500. its true duals(X) over the axle with 2 2-chamber flowmasters. so it can be done and it doesnt cost that much either.

I don't see it sounding much different beings you want to keep the y pipe in there.

That's because they had to beat the **** out of the t-top storage area to get those to fit...they have since switched to the mufflers I have now (Magnaflow 10416):

I'd be interested to know to the best of your knowledge was it just a pain in the *** or, did it reduce the space where the ttops normally would go.

Several years ago I bought bullets that doubled as tips and used them in the back after a custom-y over the axle, looked like the picture 2 posts above but went all the way out the back. Sounded awesome, just a little too loud with cam and heads.

From what I could tell, it was more of a PITA than anything...you could get away with no clearancing of you tilted the mufflers, but then you risked being able to see them from the back (instead of tucking up so nicely).
