Exhaust HELP and Suggestions PLease

[djbizz1]

I currently have a 1956 Gmc pickup and right now from the previous owner he installed a glass pack on it. I want to tone the sound a little bit by changing the muffler. I have a 270 straight 6 engine right now. I want dual exhast but i only have a single header. Can I put dual exhaust with a single header and just "Y" split the exhaust? How will it sound? Will it work? ANy suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Bizz
