True duals or not to duals??? Would MY heads, and cam set-up benefit from true duals? I don't have a large cam tr224 on 112, the heads are 5.3's stage II with my compression up to about 11:3. I'm worried low end will take a 
???? What do you true dual guys think?? anyinsight?? Right now it's going through two bullets welded into the Y, and out an open borla.

I got true duals with long tubes and it seemed to pick up a bit of power at the track over my y pipe with catback setup. The loud noise of the true duals started to wear on my ears after a while daily driving, though.

I picked up about 1 mph in the 1/4 and .1 ET. This was on my heads/cam A4 car. I went from MAC headers with off road y pipe and catback to true duals with turndowns before the axle.

I have true duals all the way out the back and I noticed a big diff in SOTP power. However I did go from a custom 3in y-pipe and flowbastard muffler. THe flowmaster was a pos tho. Oh ya I'm running Dynomax Bullet's now. Sounds AWESOME!!!

I have duals and they are not loud . I have regular dynomax super turbos not the bullet mufflers alot of guys use. I gained 1.5 tenths in the 1/4 over my cutout. That was with my little TR220 cam . I have a pretty bigger cam now so IT has a bit of a chop to it.
exhaust sample
Btw that sample is directly behind the car. When you are on the side of the car or near the front it is much quieter.

maybe a cutout after the Y would help. It just seems that the work to make it true duals may not be worth it.
HHmmm anyone else? I'm wondering if only the heavy breathers (big cams & strokers) would really benefit?
