I wouldn't talk about running cat-less on here, cuz first its against the CF rules, and it gets peoples panties in a bunch...
but as to your dual outlet, its really not practical because it wont be true dual cuz the header out is a single out, making it just extra money and extra work.... what i recommend and whats on my to do list, is aftermarket ebay headers, then 2.5" a highflow cat, a 12" glasspack and then side exit before the rear tire all in 2.5" piping... just my thoughts as to what would sound beastly

Will just put the same sound in two places. It won't have a large difference at all. Best option as stated is just 2.5" from manifold to tip

you will hate dual outlets after about 30 minutes of them rattling against your shackles.

My exaust is straight piped after the cat, and has a turnout above the rear axle angles down. it sounds great, has a nice drone, its out of the way, never gets hung up on anything, and doesnt rattle.

I custom made my exhaust from the downpipe back. It's tucked above the bottom of the "frame" rail. New cat into an 18" cherry bomb with a turn town just before the rear axle. By far my favorite setup and will keep it for a long time

Actually it said no talk of cat theft, I'm cat-less and it passed smog cat-less is only illegal if you don't pass smog, besides there is talk of beadlocks on here those are illegal as well... I have custom 2in glasspacks and a magnaflow muffler, now people can be upset, but I have seen people with hacked exhaust.

In some states you can receive a hefty fine for not having one being that it it is not legal. Due to its legality is some states we don't talk about it on here. And there are a ton of companies with dot approved beadlocks but that's for another thread

Just saying I have dual pipes and I've had to re weld the brackets multiple times after wheeling.

The more parts to a system means more opportunity for failure. Simplicity is great when you do what we do with our jeeps

Ok, I'm in Cali, I have an "illegal" exhaust, most liberal state and I pass smog, that's all that matters now, emmisions and passing. Ill argue all day about it, but in. Cali all beadlox are illegal looked it up *one piece wheels*. But I say go catless as long as you can pass smog, any question in your set up then keep it, or be *semi Legal* and have a quick drop and just drop it in for smog up and remove it after. Dad did that on his diesel cuz now they **** check diesels here.

The forum rules are what matters. Back to the op, like I stated you should just do a larger pipe

Whatever, go 2.5in with magnaflow muffler, and a quickdrop cat so you can put it in and out for smog, oh and cherrybombs. My recommendation.
