I had duals on my first Marquis back in '97. They were custom bent (was on there when I bought it) true dual with no H, and cherry bomb glasspacks. Still had the stock cats though - back then it had to pass emissions. Sounded great! Not too loud, but certainly not stock. Don't really remember any performance difference between that one, and our current one with 100% stock exhaust. Maybe a bit more on top, but our current stock Marquis seems to get out of the hole much better than the first one did.
I couldn't find a way to eliminate the air pump on this one, so I gutted it. It's just an idler pulley now. There are some odd looking metal parts with needle bearings on one end, and reed-like vanes on the other. I greased the heck out of the bearing when I did it, because after gutting it, that was the only bearing supporting the load of the belt tension. So far, so good at about 70k miles like this though.

I have found that Walker makes a complete dual system for the 5.0..............question...........should I go with the oem style Walker mufflers, or some after market variety.........like Flowmaster, or another company?Comment

I suggest going to youtube and looking up what 302's sound like with different mufflers. This has helped me in the past. It'll give you an idea of what yours could sound like.Comment
