Default What am I looking to gain when I install the true duals?

My mods are in my sig, full bolt on, solomon tuned. Im planning on buying a 2.5" setup with dynomax bullets dumped at the axle. Currently have a magnaflow catback with a 3" ORY, and about 4 exhaust leaks due to a previous owner who didnt know how to do exhaust, the magnaflows all messed up, its dented above the axle, they must have hit a hard bump or something and that messed up the alignment of the tips as well.

Not much, maybe 5hp if you are lucky and some weight.

I'm doing true duals just because of the sound, I really don't like the sound of the lt's stock configureation, it just don't sound good to me. I'm gonna most likely do pacesetter headers, 2 1/2 pipes, an x, into a pair of classic chamber powersticks. I wish that they still had the pacesetter stainless knockoffs on fleaBay.

Its an M6. And yeah im looking to ditch the boogered up magnaflow system on it. I'm worried about two things:
1. Cops
2. I LOVE the way the tips look coming out of the TA's bumper. Then again ill probably get it custom made at a shop to run them out the back.

Don't worry about cops that's the advantage of owning a M6 we can shift to the next gear if its to loud and u see cops or put it in neutral. I love M6's

If you care about weight my old duals that ran out the back weighted 70 lbs.

Any gain in power will be negated by the added weight, should be louder though.

Either way im going to need an exhaust. I bottomed the exhaust out going into my garage the other day, and it basically made the leak louder. I myself, cant stand having my car sound like junk with that tap. The way the car sounds/performs reflects on the driver's personality, and i dont know about you guys but i refuse to let a job get done half@$$
