by going to what? heads and cam? Yeah i would say its costing you some power now and will cost you a lot more in the future with more mods. Some say duals with 3 inch pipe is overkill on most cars but thats what im running and Im happy that i wont ever need to upgrade it for more power.

Spraying it with heads and cam coming soon... No go bigger. Minimum single 3 inch. Besides the headers should have 3 inch collectors so going smaller would choke the gain from the headers.
