Seeking truth on diesel dual exhaust...

OK, older gasser motors loved zero exhaust restrictions. Newer, fool-injected gassers don't like free-flow exhausts until the higher RPM's. Seems they lose torque on the low side if there is too much exhaust flow relative to stock, my 1988 Ford Ranger and my 1996 Jeep Cherokee, both cases in point. Anyhow, how do diesels REALLY like dual exhausts? I was sorely dissappointed with both previous attempts to put custom dual exhausts on newer vehichles, because they both felt like I was lugging a trailer until they reached well over 3000 rpms... Certainly don't want that to happen to my new baby, but I sure would like to see two pipes billowing that smoke everyone is telling me is OK to see!! [undecided] I'm not after noise, or power, in fact I would even consider just adding a "Y" somewhere after the factory muffler. She puts out all I am looking for, just want to make mine a little different to the trained eye... ;D

Re:Seeking truth on diesel dual exhaust...

The reason why yor other 2 vehicles do not respond to the duel exhaust is because they are 6 cylinders and do not make enought back pressure to move to a free flowing exhaust. I have never seen duels on a diesel except for the stacks which makes the interior stink like hell when the windows are down. <br>I would also stay away from the brinks kits they are extremely loud and very annoying on long drives.
