I don't think you will have to cut. You can remove bolts from the suitcase center back.

Yep... looks like stock clamps (between the suitcase and the cats).

Should be easy (if you want to remove the suitcase). If not, there will be cutting.

What is that "suitcase"? Resonator?

Here's a better shot...

just wondering y nobody says anything about true dual exhaust vs. x h pipe

If by 'true' dual exhaust, you mean separate pipes all the way back that are not connected in any way, that is probably not something you would want to do. H & X pipes improve exhaust flow, and therefore performance. Running isolated pipes will in all likelihood reduce performance.

Crossover pipes provide a way for the exhaust pulses to equal out in both pipes and aid the scavenging effect. Scavenging helps to pull exhaust gases out of the cylinders, rather than the engine having to force them out, which expends energy that would otherwise end up at the rear wheels.

Maybe there is an X in the suit case crossing the exhaust pipes?

Yes... they definitely tie together in some way inside that "suitcase".

Like scottpe said, they have to in order to equal out pulses.

The pipes do not physically tie together. There are two chambers within the resonator with one pipe having perforations in the first changer and the second pipe having perforations in the second chamber with an opening between each chamber. It's in Ford's patent for the resonator which was previously posted on this site.

That's cool... but still allowing each side to equalize.

Have a link to where it was talked about?

Found it...

yes, I thought that there were clamps before the resonator thing ?

idk

There is at least the one I saw had them.

If you buy a kit that also replaces the resonator, you only have clamps to worry about.

If you just want to change the mufflers, you have to cut the existing pipes.

You can see that here:

I'm calling that "before" the resonator following the exhaust flow.

There are no clamps "after" the resonator (between the resonator and mufflers).

why wouldn't I replace the resonator thanks
