So what exactly is the difference between them if any? Is it that true duals have a mid-pipe or what? im still really new to this stuff so any help is appreciated.

exact same thing.

No, both true duals and divorced pipes do NOT have a crossover pipe. Both have 1 pipe going from each manifold, cat, muffler, and to the exhaust pipe.

True dual means no cross over pipe for example no H,X, and y pipe. im not really sure about divorced duals.

jesus....so much bad info
true duals just means you have a pipe from each one of your manifolds all the way back and no y-pipe. divorced duals is a term used to descripe an exhaust that has no crossover.
gt mustangs come with a true dual setup, there are 2 pipes that go clear to the back of the car. the v6 comes with a ypipe leading into one tailpipe. the bolt on kits that you can buy for the v6 that just bolt to the ypipe are not true dual or divorced because the exhaust has to go into a y-pipe for a sec then out to 2 tail pipes.

I thought SN95 Gt cars had a 6 cat H stock from Ford? I know fox V8s had 4 cat H pipes stock.
