2017 Ram 1500 / V6 .... Thinking of using a Y splitter single to dual ... off the stock muffler and running dual tailpipes....wondering if anyone has done this. I am thinking it would increase fuel mileage, sound better and done right, it would look good too. I have a friend that owns a muffler shop and he's an artist at bending pipe. Anyone done this?

I highly doubt it will do a ythibg for mileage and just be a headache. Honestly I'd go with a cold air intake that should help a bit I'd say better gains than just adding a tailpipe to a stock muffler. Just my opinion.

Might as well put the 5.7 badge on there as well!

Side note, heard an eco boost with dual straight pipes the other day and had a nice giggle. Cooking rice

you might want to watch some youtube vids of the 5.7 duals on a 3.6 before you comment.
it actually sounds really good

It can be done right, my old 2007 ranger with 4.0L v6 had a Gibson catback with duals out the rear, very nice deep rumble, you would never think it was a v6.

Where are you out of? I have the stock muffler and pipes for the dual system off my truck I could sell you if you’re local. I’m in south Florida.

It does add a nice rumble on a V6. (an OEM take off a 5.7)

Thanks but I am 60 miles north of Atlanta in the first ridge of the mountains. I sometimes hear banjos! :eek:

Lots of V6 vehicles have dual exhaust, it’s not like anyone is trying to pretend to the a hemi..... my truck may not sound like a V8 but at least my truck doesn’t sound like a sewing machine!!!!

I put a take off OEM dual exhaust from someone that upgraded their exhaust. Everything bolts right up and the only thing extra you need is the back exhaust hanger. Here’s a link to a thread that I posted a couple of videos: https://www.ramforum.com/threads/an...ive-a-v6-a-deep-rumble-thats-not-loud.121319/
