as you see in the picture on the converters. you can see the flange on the back of it with piping to the muffler. you can cut it there and split the sides on the left and right hand side of gas tank easily. you can not however reposition the cats or split them farther apart. dual out as i described it are a common mods for 2dr. units.

flowmaster has a kit 17165 that sell for about $370. same as 4dr for sound and power but with a short front pipe because the shorter body. it is a cat back with a right side ext. it is supposed to be for 2dr only and while it is not on flowmasters application guide it does exist. http://www.jegs.com/i/Flowmaster/389/17165/10002/-1

Why not just get a muffler that has dual 2.5 inlets and 2.5 outlets and have a muffler shop install and bend all the piping from the muffler back? If you are trying to save some cash? That will act as your X of H Pipe and change out the O2 sensors while you are there. You're probably looking around 250 for the cheaper route, and If you go Sunlit's route, 400 and a couple of hours of install time. Both will have similiar results just Sunlits route is better but 100 bucks for or so.

Yes they sound different.
