Weight to power factor of E-Cutouts vs True duals worth it?

no y pipe setup even compares to the sound of true duals, i have had so many catbacks and they all suck,magnaflow was good but way to quiet , borla and gmmg was the best imo but duals sound better in every way,with them dumped you will get alot of drone, they are loud but it really depends on the setupyou go with, i know for a fact i will never have a y pipe on my car again, everywhere i go someone tells me how badass it sounds, i have alsohad alot o f body guys tell me i have never heard a 4th gen sound so good, with my cam and mods i felt a sotp feel over a catback,
Same boat, had QTP LT's into TSP duals with spiral flows on my 2000 a few years ago. Sounded amazing but they only lasted the summer. As soon as the car went into storage they came off the car, and on went a TSP Y and Magnaflow catback. I only drove about 20-50 miles a day maybe. Too much interior resonance, couldnt use my phone or talk to anyone hardly. This was only a bolt on car, a cam would be much worse. Some minor clearance issues with people in the back. It wasnt worth the negatives to me to save what maybe 25-30 pounds? Horsepower difference is negligible too, unless you are a hardcore racer looking for every hundredth you can scrape up. Im in the market for another Fbody and I assure you it will not have dumped duals on it lol.

Op you are really overanalyzing this. Me personally I will never run a y pipe again. The only reason I am now is because I got the catback for free. I have TSP TDs with Sweet Thunders sitting in my garage waiting to go on. Why not find someone in your area that has dumped duals, ride in their car and compare.

If you want a good sounding exhaust like they said dont get dumps bad tone. You could find a shop to make you true duals, bassani makes 2.5 inch true duals for stock manifolds but can be converted, or kooks makes a ture dualexhaust. Yes its expensive but it sounds damn good and its not loud and has zero rasp and drone. What area are you in?

Not interested in off the shelf cat backs or full exhaust's way over priced for how they perform. true dual dumps sound amazing. I would never run a 2.5 inch exhaust on any of these cars. That's to small for even all motor honda's.

I'm making the switch to the TSP true duals hopefully soon.
Right now my setup is ARH 1 7/8" longtubes with an ARH ORY and Borla adjustable catback. I Run it with no plate 95% of the time and I just don't like the tone when cruising around. Right around 2k rpm it has this loud megaphone resonance thing going on that is downright obnoxious. When I'm actually flooring it though... HOLY MOLY it SCREAMS.
