I have a v6 six that I am actually converting into a v8. I need to know from you guys what mods have to be done in order to make the dual exhaust work. I think I definetly need hangers, but what about the brake lines that run by there?

Usually your stock exhaust is cut after the cats. Then a X/H pipe is created to weld into it. After that, the exhaust system is finished by running two pipes, on each side of the car, through a muffler each, and then out back.

For TRUE duals:

Get a used GT exhaust, and have a shop weld in the two pieces of straight pipe - the cheapest way.

or...

Get an H, X, or Mac's Prochamber, and then slap a GT or V6 cat-back exhaust on - fairly cheap.

or...

Use a GT cat-back system or pick and choose your mufflers and tips, then have a shop weld everything in (minus the cross overs) - fairly expensive.
or..

Replace the whole thing starting at the headers, and work your way back, mid pipe or not, using your mufflers and pipes of choice - most expensive way.
