Default How much more extra HP from true duals?

How much more HP could you expect to gain from having a true dual exhaust setup with crossover pipe? (vs a catback; assuming all other things being constant ie: headers/manifolds, cats, whatever) Just wondering if it is worth it or not.

Who has duals? are you satisfied with the sound & performance? Any sound clips?

I dont know about HP, but I picked up 1 1/2 tenth in the 1/4. That was over my 3.5 with a cutout. I dont dyno after every mod, I prefer to take that $$ and spend on other mods.
I would say that it's worth at least 10 HP, but I think it moved the power band up, which turned out to be a good thing for me, as I didn't need more power down low. Spinning tires just doesn't produce the best ET.
If you decide you want duals, e-mail me, & I can get you a great deal right here in Michigan. Later. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

I know. I talked to Joe (Black02SS) and i am almost sold on them. I just want to hear one of the cars done by pipebender.

But when/if i decide to do this, i will definitely let you know. And i think i have a few others sold on it as well. All we gotta do is hear it! And from what people tell me, it will sound exellent!
