2019 classic 5.7 CC4x4
A local exhaust shop I spoke to (Highly recommended in the area) said they can custom build headers. I only went in to discuss a dual exhaust upgrade, so I dismissed it and kept the discussion steered towards the cat back. I know the y pipe is a major restriction so I was mostly interested in doing a true dual exhaust with an x pipe and 2 separate carven tr progressive mufflers. With eliminating the y pipe I would have to put in high flow cats anyways so should I explore the option of them building some long tubes for me or would I be better served to purchase something like the JBA 1 3/4 long tubes from moe's and then have them build the system, or what questions I should ask, should I expect them to use a software or template to build them, obviously I would want d-ports and spiked scavengers. is this something a local shop can build reliably or is there a level of engineering that the prefab headers have that would make a noticable difference?
Also I was wondering if anyone knows how the sound of a true dual with two separate mufflers would compare to a 2>1>2 with a single muffler. Would true duals be louder or quieter, change in tone, ect.? Anyone have sound clips of a true dual carven setup?
Also the guy I talked to (the guy who owns the shop and the head mechanic were out) seemed a little put off that I wanted joints fabricated in similar locations to the stock set up, I feel like this is essential since I was a mopar mechanic and mostly worked transmissions so the y pipe had to come out a lot, am I being too picky. I never did exhaust work besides simple r&r or changing manifold bolts so i just want to be sure I'm not being that guy...
