Default Switch to true duals?....

This is my dilemma: I'm getting long tubes (probably Grots or FLPs) and now would be the time to switch over. I currently have the SLP Y-pipe, and the Borla catback. I figure I could sell both for $450 or so... so after the headers, I would need to get an X-pipe with high flow cats, two bullet mufflers with turndowns. How much would I need to spend extra? Do you think it would be worth it? Opinions? Thanks!!

Ian

With everything total (minus the cats)....look to spend around $300. Not sure how much the cats go. Why do you wanna keep the cats...emissions?

X-pipe systems are pretty cheap and the gains are very nice too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Yes, emissions. Here's my problem: I'm registered in TX, but my car will never see TX again (I'm in CA) so I don't have to do any more emissions testing. Should I just go with the ORP and O2 simms?
