I remember going to the emissions place and when the guy put the truck up on the rollers (the back wheels) and hooked the hose to it, he didnt look underneath my truck for how the exhaust was ran. All he did was look at the side of my truck and he noticed my tail pipe (in original location behind rear tire on pass side) and he just hooked the hose onto the pipe, it passed and he set me on my way. I was thinking. If i installed my 406 and ran true dual exhaust (each pipe has own header) and ran the passenger side header and pipe out of the original location (so it looks original) and re routed the other pipe underneath somewhere out of sight. If it went to plan, the emissions place would only actually be reading the emissions produced on one header (the pass side). And it should pass then with a cat or two and maybe lean the carb. Wow, i wonder if that would work? Anyone else try this? roy

I know it\'s just a creative Idea, but what would the purpose of running dual pipes if you hid one?
