Default true duals vs magnaflow

I want to get true duals using flowmaster single chamber mufflers, but i'm also considering the magnaflow catback.Is there really a big gain?Is it really worth all the trouble?I don't want the true duals to be too loud but i don't want the magnaflow to be too quiet either.I already have the magnaflow, should i go through all the trouble to get duals?By the way i have Long tube headers, and a cam on the way.
What do you guys think?

I've only seen on minor bolt on cars and cars with "sleeper cams" and the gains are not that great..almost same as normal catback...and if you are going for sound Magnaflow sounds AMAZING

i dumped my magnaflow catback for true duals . you'll gain 2-8rwhp at peak but alot of under the curve power.

Your gain's will mainly be seen under the curve as apposed to top end power. I wouldn't be surprised if you see as much as 8 - 10 rwhp in some areas same thing with torque.
