duals are better in every way ,i will never go back to a y pipe, the sound is second to none, on my ms4 car i felt a gain in the first drive, car pulled alot stronger ,honest to me y pipes dont sound good, i had every catback, a great y pipe and still just was never happy. my duas are loud but sound great,sweet thunders win in my book, i will never have anything else on there

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the flowmaster is a 3" dual in dual out?
If that's the case, I'm also gonna go ahead and guess that that setup is holding you back quite a bit. Even dual 2.5" FMs have been seen to hold back some power, so can't imagine what 1 slightly bigger will do.
If you get a dual exhaust with a crossover and some straight through mufflers I bet you'll gain quite a bit of power, especially under the curve.

Unless your cars underside is in mint show room condition....or are planning for future car shows...why stainless?? It is your choice, and if money is no issue, I guess go for it. My TD setup with Headers and mmounts with install and tune ran about $1350.
All that stainless looks good in a box or while your taking pics of it ...2 weeks on the road..looks like any other metal...

The FM might be holding you back a little but the main reason to switch would be for the sound unless your going max effort. I have kooks lts with cats, GMMG and you cant even hear my buddies Kooks TD's with cats next to my car. Its just way too quiet for me. There are guys running 9's on y-pipes.

the 80 series flowmaster cat back is a single in dual out cross flow design.
flowmaster has some of the best flowing mufflers on the market, just not the 80 series.
2 10 series single chamber flowmasters will flow right with the straight thru bullets you speak of, and sound miles better doing it.

i had my true duals made over a year ago out of stainless for $450. I will never go back to a catback system/y pipe ever. The sounds is amazing with an x-pipe and the midrange power is a big difference.

I was just trying to justify your $2000 cost on your stainless comment... You could have the TSP TDs like me done right for way under the cost your talking about. On the other side, it will sound alot better than your current setup, that's for sure.

I'm guessing that for $2k he's planning on running it clear to the bumper, and stainless is a no brainer if you plan to keep you car for a long time because I wouldn't want to spend $800+ for an exhaust that will eventually rust out and need replaced. Although for $2k+ I'd just buy the Kooks true dual setup and be done with it.

to answer all my questions in one messge. my car is pretty close to a show car. besides the interior that needs to be finished. arh offers a 2.5 inch true dual setup from the headers to tips which i believe im supplying the cme not 100% on the tips yet though. i want loud and clean idk what to expect and if you guys think this exhaust will be worth the 1850 im going to go for it. and as far as clearance goes somehow they managed to make less ground clearance issues as far as the pics they send me show.
