most people just go with one, I like my dual-Y setup, but its not for everyone, i know that i am losing a few HP downlow, but for me its a trade off for what i consider a great souind.

The leaking issue isnt a big deal to me either, ive never had mine go, but it doesnt seem like an in depth fix if something where to happen.

I ordered me a 3" Stainless steel manual cut out from QTP. $55 shipped. You can always add the electric part later. I wanted to get a manual to see how I liked it. Will probally just leave it open all the time.

If u have stock manifolds and cats it will sound okay...lt's +NO cats and all the way open all the time it will get annoying...I open mine about halfway..think it sounds better like that until hwy speeds..then open.[i have nooo cats] you can get some washers or nuts, and vary how open u want the plate..I did that once when I removed the electric plate, just for fun.
