Default Exhausting Question

If I install true dual head pipes, can I run stock mufflers or screaming eagle mufflers?

Would kind of defeat the purpose of running stock pipes on true dual headers. As for screaming eagle or any other aftermarket mufflers, you just have to make sure the headers you buy are the proper size. There have been folks who have pieced mealed their true dual systems (Rinehart for example) and sold the headers to other guys, but the headers on these full systems have a different diameter on the end than what works for the aftermarket, it was all designed as 1 system to work together.

For True Duals a lot of guys like the V&H dresser duals, but if it was my money getting those pipes I would get the Rush true duals that are ceramic coated inside and out to reduce heat.

Just my $0.02

Your stock mufflers might have different baffles in them depending on the year. I would want equal flow from each muffler.

Make sure the true dual head pipes are 1 3/4". Some made by Bub and Rinehart are 2".
