Should I put dual exhaust on my truck?
Dual exhaust will give you a significant power increase because of the engine’s ability to breathe better. Thus, if you are trying to increase horsepower, dual exhaust may be worth the cost. You’ll have to replace the intake manifolds with headers, then add the proper piping, converters and mufflers.
Is there a benefit to dual exhaust?
Because the exhaust gases exit each manifold through two pipes rather than just one, they can exit the engine faster and provide additional horsepower gains. Dual exhaust systems help reduce backpressure, which can save energy and increase the engine’s efficiency for better gas mileage.

Does true dual exhaust increase horsepower?
A true dual exhaust system provides each head and exhaust manifold with its own separate exit allowing double the amount of exhaust to be forced out of the engine. As a result, you will likely notice an increase in horsepower.
How much HP can dual exhaust add?
Most manufacturers of aftermarket dual exhaust systems claim an increase of 15 to 20 percent in horsepower (hp). A car producing 190 hp, for example, could potentially see an increase to over 225 hp, an impressive gain. Adding headers generally adds another 20 to 20 hp.
Will a resonator quiet my exhaust?
An exhaust resonator is designed to reduce the drone, buzz, or even whine of your exhaust by attaching onto your muffler. These extra parts can quiet your engine dramatically, modulating and changing the sound so it’s more muted and less obvious.

Will removing resonator make louder?
When you take out the exhaust resonator and replace it with a pipe, the back pressure can be affected. It will reduce the efficiency of your car and you might end up consuming more fuel while also hearing a louder noise.
What happens if you take out the resonator?
Your vehicle will work without a resonator, but you may end up with a check engine light or other issues. Your vehicle may also fail its annual emissions inspection if part of your exhaust system is missing.
Do resonators hurt performance?
Registered. Resonators do not affect performance, as far as I know. Only sound. They are, in effect, a straight pipe.
