For people who have done custom quad exhaust i have 1 magnaflow muffler and my two tips, what different kinds of setups to convert this into quads. I am goin to use the one magnaflow to replace the rear pancake resonator.
Please if you have pic of how it look under the car post them that would help alot to see it first...

For ex. Where to cutt and What to add.
Do i need any X or Y pipe?

Heres mine, I should have gone with a dual inlet dual out. They used a Y pipe. I figure that the dual in dual out would lose less power.

our typical setup that we do is a 2in/2out muffler up where the front resonators are, then piping down on each side, with a cylindrical muffler on each side to the tips.
