True duals with bullets sound badass for about 3-4 days. Then it just gets anoying as hell! I had them for about 3 weeks and pulled them off. I went with a magnaflow and I didnt lose any rwhp. I have a 408 and I was worried about losing power from going back to a single exhaust, and I didnt lose any, I actually picked up 3 ft. lbs.Now I can actually talk on the phone, or to passengers, and listen to the radio. And it sounds nasty at wide open throttle. You really dont pick up any rwhp from duals unless your compairing duals to stock exhaust, especially on a stock internal motor. Take your $400 that you were going to spend on duals and put it towards a nitrous kit, and really wake it up. Sound or speed?????????? Thats my $ .02

It all opinion. I have had my duals for 9 months and its my favorite feautre on my car. Gets soo many looks and people always tell me how amazing it sounds. Just get the bullets and be don with it. The interior noise doesnt bother me at all (its a damn sports car and it sure sound slike one) but some people are more "sensitive" i guess.. Like i said.. its all opinion anyway.
If it means anything.. my girlfriend LOVES it and she loves the looks we get when we go cruising.. and i dont even have the cam in yet..
I don't think it's worth it to upgrade to duals from Magnaflow unless you like the sound, or hate the looks of the Magnaflow. I don't think there's a power advantage to speak of.

Yeah.....I guess my "quiet" 408 with 486 rwhp n/a isn't a sports car then! I couldnt help but feel like a ricer, having loud *** exhaust and 310 rwhp. Prime example of all bark and no bite, but thats just my opinion......

And as far as a ricer.. duals definitely dont sound the same as a weed-eater in a bucket
Lastly an ls1 with headers and duals will already have more than 310hp
I am on stock internals with true duals and sweet thunders ran out under the axle.. I'd never look back. I don't have any drone either. Tuned numbers in sig. My stock tune was terrible (318hp/340tq) and it ran a 12.9 at 107 with a slipping stock clutch, slow shifts, and bad knock sensor. Guess that makes me a ricer. lol
