Default True Duels ?

Been thinking about going true duels. I have LT, 3" ORY, No Cats, 3" Magnaflow the rest of the way back.
Want to know if anyone that had a similar set-up and went to TD, has any dyno numbers to show if there were any gains in HP/TQ?

On a near stock car you won't get a significant power gain. The only reason to do it is if you like the sound of TDs better.

Below is a list of all my mods and was thinking of running this over the rear and straight out the back. Don't know which muffler or a 2.5 or 3". If there isn't a good dyno proven gain in doing this, I won't.

i just did my true duals on friday the car is much nicer now.
the sound inside is quite docile,i used 2.5"pipe X-pipe single chamber flomasters with tailpipes it has a very distinct sound,if i gained anything it was at the top end but hey i like it.

Ah ok I didn't see all that before. It still probably won't give a whole lotta gain most likely because your current system already flows pretty good, but hey if you like the sound go for it. if you do get much of anything, like said in the post above me it'll probably only be up top.

Sounds like I should stay with what I have. Cool, so a new converter is what I'll go for next.
