Default dual cutouts worth it on my combo?

well the mods are in the sig and my exhaust is a ghetto fabulus setup! it is dynatech headers with 2.5" MUFFLER SHOP (non-mandrel bent) y-pipe to a stock intermediate pipe and no muffler out back. the thing is the muffler shop had to bend the heck out of the y-pipe and it necks down to 2.0" easy at the bend. i think that might be a restriction. i am looking for max power but the dynomax bullet muffler is just loud enough on the street. i cant go dual bullets all the time! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> would dual 2.5" cutouts be worth any power on the dyno and at the track? i am looking for every little bit! thanks!

ALSO, my cam is pretty large at 230/230 so i know it will benefit from the lack of backpressure! thanks. i make peak power at 6400 already.

Yes you would gain power from doing dual cutouts, just make sure the tunning is correct.
