Default What do you guys think

I've been reading around and I want to do an exhaust upgrade next. Would a h-pipe be worth considering or should I leave the little y in there and go from there? What about compression if I go to dual, would I be losing enough to hurt my car?

You lost me on the compression issue. But if you seriously plan on doing other mods. go with the real dual exhaust.

Let me know if you want some prices if you want a bolt on kit.
Someone at work told me that if I went with dual that I could lose compression and that I should stay with my single(whatever the hell he meant is beyond me, I thought that you guys might know--oh well)

Yeah, could you look into some kits for me please.

It's an auto, I think a supercharger may be a better power adder in the future.

nah.

turbo > supercharger


They flow mo' pound for pound and don't give you so much torque you can't plant it all to the ground. For street cars, blerbo is better....gives you a wider power boand....power comes in up top. Better gas mileage, mo' airfl;ow, mo' power and mo' bitches who take it in the ass..

I think the guy meant to say you will be losing backpressure...not compression. The 3.8 responds very well to the true dual H-pipe setup, but I wouldn't go much over 2.25inch when you do get a cat back.
