true duals or stick wit cat back?

ok i know this is discussed ALOT but i want to know opinions and pros and cons. im starting a 383 nitrous build our goal with the car is to one day hit 9s but it will still be driven. i want to know if wen i switch the headers to long tubes should i stay with the y pipe and cat back with a cut out or get an x pipe and some mufflers. if i should go to true duals how big of an x pipe 3"? id lik all your opinions on this were trying to build a real serious car and wanna do it right the first time.

You need to determine if the cost justifies the gains. I'd say they don't at this point.

Don't even waste the money on the TSP true duals. Go with a universal x-pipe kit from either Jegs or Summit. Either way, some fabrication will be needed, and you'll save a **** ton on the universal kits. I've got the 2.5" Jegs x-pipe and some cheap ebay knockoffs of the Flowmaster 10 series. Between the x-pipe and mufflers, I spent a total of around $150. I don't have a cam, just a few bolt-ons, but here's what it sounds like. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/9...ust_192864.htm
