Question true duals vs. catbacks

Just wanted to know from you guys that have that have either/or setup which one would would give better results . A true duals x-pipe setup or headers/catback? I just got my 99z28 about a week ago and i'am intrested in tossing out that stock exhaust for one of these setups. I'm leaning more towards the true duals setup but i havent heard of what kinda gains to expect for that setup.

I had Macs and true duals but I like my Jet Hot/ GMMG combo much better.

Id just get a cutout until you get headers/duals.

I love mine. I had headers, y-pipe and borla on my last Z. Duals sound the best, flow/scavenge better and I think look better too cuz you can't see em'...but that's my opinion.

True Duals are overkill for most.. My 4" Mufflex catback flows right there with duals..
