Default Dual cat back exhaust

Im looking for a dual cat back exhaust for my 1995 Cherokee but I cant find one anywhere! can anyone help me find one?! if they, for some odd reason, dont make dual cat backs, what would be a good cat back to get?

Thanks

They do not make dual cat backs for a Cherokee. Might want to just get a muffler of your choice and have an exhaust shop weld it up for you.

with the inline configurations of our engines i'm pretty sure a single pipe is the way to go for everything from sound to power

You can buy a single in, dual out Flow Master. Just run the pipes on both sides of the gastank. I've seen pics of an XJ with it done this way. It looked and sounded pretty good.
Too much pipe in the way of my rear suspension flexing for my liking, though. I already had to modify my single tailpipe a bit to get the shock to clear.

I agree. I've always thought that duals on an inline engine of any kind were somewhat silly. You'll get better sound and more power from a good single exhaust configuration.

negative. much more sound out of a dual exit. deeper, louder, better.

I disagree. I have a single 3" on a V6 that sets off car alarms when parked next to me. The 2 1/4 header pipe is too restrictive and quiets the sound. For good sound, start with a 2 1/2" header pipe and a 2 1/2" tail pipe minimum.
