Duals would really do you good. I also have the Ms4, I'm running open headers though. lol We run true duals on our TRex cammed car, and I really just don't think any exhaust comes close to duals...twister mufflers, or bullets if you like REALLY loud.

I haven't put mine on the dyno to see actual numbers, but I can tell you it pulls hards all the way up to about 7k where I've got it set to shift. It is a MONSTER.

It is a stock bottom end. No reason to change that at all unless I was spraying a lot, which I'm not....yet.
This motor has probably 5-7k miles on it now if that's what you're asking.

How are people getting 10 more RWHP over a cut-out with true duals (I am assuming an X-pipe?)? Does the "scavenging effect" really do that much over open headers? I have true duals with long-tubes on my SS and plan on getting either the MS3 or the G5X3 pretty soon.

Just curious, but did he run the hotcam with open cutouts and then the hotcam with the X-pipe (with no other changes to the car besides X-pipe/cut-out)?

I have the Mufflex 4" single exit exhuat on my camaro. Many people think that is too mig for our cars but it has just about the same surface area as a dual 3" with the duals getting just a little more area, aka within a 1.5 square inches.

4" system has 12.6 sq in and the dual 3" has 14.1 sq in.

The muffler on my car is a flowmaster.
