[Shotimes] true dual exhaust

[Ron Porter]

That's the way the rear MTX pipe is, also. From my understanding, that rear
pipe setup is not as bad as the MTX, and the rest of the ATX y-pipe is a
touch smoother.

Not saying that the ATX y-pipe is a model of efficiency, either (never saw a
Gen 2 ATX pipe up close).

 I have read that too and never understood it! Did Vadim even look at it or
was it like the 3.2 L engine won't fit the MTX car statements? Look at the
stock ATX setup! The pipe does not even bend, it just sticks right into the
top of the converter on the back bank of cylinders. Ted B. pointed this out
real early!
