Default hp loss with 2.5" true duels?

Anyone think I'm giving up much hp with 2.5" true duels instead of 3"....

I kind of think it would be about the same as a Loudmouth vs. a cut out because:

one 3.5" pipe (y-pipe exhaust) has an area of 9.6211"

vs.

two 2.5" pipes (my x-pipe true duel) have a combined area of 9.817"


so....what....5-10 hp?

It's tought to say without having it dyno tested. If I was you I'd just have it tested to find out. You could speculate all day what the loss may or may not be.
