how many people are tens or lower without true duals? How many people are there running tens or lower without the benefit of true duals???? I am curious wether i really should preform this mod.
I kinda want to get a stock exhaust and an electric cutout but trueduals are lighter.... I can't decide.

Re: how many people are tens or lower without true duals? A lot of people are, but most have dual cut outs on the y-pipe so it gives then the whole effect of running open headers.

Re: how many people are tens or lower without true duals? Are you saying that you are getting rid of the duals, Lane? Surely not, you must have mis-read his post.
All of the fastest people are running open headers in some way. Either header extensions, mufflers right off the headers, or cutouts in the y-pipe. Duals make more power in every application. Whether or not you can use that power is different. Most of the time they will increase power in the low-end and make the power curve broader. But, at the track, with a high stall or a manual, you never let the RPMs fall enough to make any difference. Bottom line: it is lighter than a standard exhaust, it makes more power under the entire power curve, and it sounds so much more like an old school muscle car. You can't go wrong with them.

Re: how many people are tens or lower without true duals? I actually think that the majority of people in the tens are probably not running true duals (though maybe the faster cars are). I certainly don't have true duals.

Re: how many people are tens or lower without true duals? I am getting a D-1SC installed this weekend, I'm pretty sure that will get my well into the 10's, I will be running through an SLP dual-dual most of the time, and sometimes a single cutout.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
