My friend's truck has this...it's basically one flowmaster with two outlets...and they run an exhaust pipe to each side of the vehicle, so it looks and sounds like dual exhaust, but it's really just one flowmaster with one pipe going in, two coming out. What is this called exactly? i called our local muffler shop and the guy sounded confused...he said something about another Y-pipe...is there a name for this?

His Flowmaster is used on a C4 Corvette with the L-98 engine. It has a single inlet with dual outlets...both function. Some Corvette after market mufflers have dual outlets but only one is functional. Other Corvette models may work. For sure 1985-1989.
This may not be a good idea as too much back pressure might develop. His system has both headers into one muffler. That should decrease horsepower considerably.

If your car is a V8 do not go true dual without some kind of crossover. V8's require some back-pressure believe it or not to accelerate the exhaust fumes through the pipes especially during idle. One flowmaster with dual outlets will do nothing for HP or TQ and will make a very small change in sound depending on application. To feel and hear the effects go true dual with a h pipe crossover and if you can but you don't need them, get application specific headers to go with, it would be a nice and noticeable growl with a decent HP/TQ gain. If you go with a chip like Jet or Superchip you will probably double your gains.

This is called a dual outlet muffler. This is is where the piping is Y'ed to exit the vehicle to how you wish it too. If you would want to maybe try another route, and performance isn't what you want, try a glasspack. They are basically just a louder muffler. Sounds good on trucks, and would be nice for your dual outlet muffler setup. Hope this helps!

well from personaly experience you;ll gain more from having a flowmaster for each pipe for a true dual system. however you can do dual's with one flowmaster without having to use a y pipe, the flowmaster is set up to have two pipes runing into it and out of it.

you will choose to bypass old college with that Caddy. twin glass %. exhaust would be plenty extra constructive and extra value-effective too. You get that rappity sound thats basically undeniable old college. It wont be loud, it quite is deep and extremely unique. on account which you acquire an excellent motor in there, decide for a 2 a million/4" twin exhaust with 15" glass packs, exiting out under returned bumper.
