Default True Duals or keep my current set-up

Ok ive been thinking about swapping out my current set-up for TSP 3in true duals. I currently have SLP lt's, ORY, dual/dual and a pair of electric cut-outs. Clearence is no issue, i wont lower it. Do you think i will see any measurable gain?? Or will it be more for sound?? This is also not my DD, so loud is ok with me.

10-15HP? It can't be that much more of a difference.

I don't think it'll be that much of a difference. It'll sound badass, though.

if hes using a crappy y pipe like any major J pipe without a good merge collector and assuming the cutouts are closed, I can see the 10hp difference.

He will have more pipe to help flow and keep velocity up and not jsut slam 2 pipes into 1
