I need some help I need a picture or pictures of anyone here that and has changed or has their car with dual exhaust. I have a 88 Cougar with the 3.8 and I want to put dual exhaust on it and the ler guy I use (which I have used many timed before and am very happy with) says it can not be done?? Anyone with pics I can show him to prove him it can be done.... Or is he right?
I think you need the dbl hump transmission bracket.
I don't think they put it in a 3.8
why dont you just do it yourself
because I have someone who knows what they are doing and knows how to weld who will do it for nothing. Even if I was to do it myself I would still like to see how it would look and exactly how I would need to run it.
a section of coolcats was written for you.

also, you could go with a y to 3" and not hurt anything. A real life h-pipe is not needed with the 3.8. You can just go with a single pipe each side.
heres my old T-bird and new one just to give a idea of looks.
Thanks but I dont need to see how it looks from the back I would like some shots from underneath..
Thanks Haystack I have read that before it helps but kind wanted to actually see it done.. Ill print this of and bring it to the guy anyway.
If my wasn't off the road for the winter I'd meet ya somewhere and you could have a look for yourself.
I would just use the same stuff that the ones with the factory "duals" had. You really dont need true duals on the 3.8 so just tell him to order the parts for an 88 5.0 with the factory duals and install it as such. All you will need is everything after the cat.
Heres pic. Everything after the cat is what you need.

Here are some shots of my car as a single turbo but it gives you an ideal of how you can run the exhaust.
Hope this helps.
I would get a double hump trans crossmember and run true duals
