I was planning on getting a dual mufler exhaust system. Y it off from the cat conv and going back to two mufflers and the out the back. My buddy told me this might hurt me in hp is this true? and does anyone else thing it would look good out the back?

I wouldn't run it out the back...you'll look like every other shitbox pickup out there. Put it out the side!

A bunch of small stuff like exhaust throttle body mass air intake and a cheap ass e fan that doesnt fit that great but still works somewhat....i also altered my intake to come down beside the fan this gives it a little cooler air in my opinion....my advice is this is all good but dont waste money on the throttle body didnt see much difference....lol still lookin to see about that hp situation with the mufflers?????

All Gen 1 Lightnings have true dual exhaust! They have FRPP shorty headers, dual y-pipes w/4 Hi-flow cats (2 each side) and dual mufflers with twin pipes all the way out. Strange thing is that it starts with twin 2-1/2" pipes to the mufflers then comes out with twin 2" inchers all they back. It is actually a very good free flowing system. I kept the original just in case I sell but I upgraded to a full Basani system (Headers to pipes). It was, however, quite expensive. Too expensive if you ask me! Good luck!

my 94 has flowmasters welded together and then dump off right behind the passenger side door.......sounds pretty good, but i'm not a big fan of flowmasters. i would like to have bassanis...............

i hate the look of tail pipes coming out the back. on our trucks..........dump them is the best choice..........or side exhaust like the gen two's look cool......

that seems like a whole lot of time with just minor mods....is there something else you arent mentioning? no pullies?...no headers?...no stall?...air intake or intake manifold? just curious cause thats alot of time for those mods.
