ok.... To go with my original question... (the one that got all this started
:-)) Would it be of any benefit to have true duels over the y pipe. I have a
shop that was going to install the headers and run them back into 2
removable cats (test pipes put behind the seat for later installation
hehehhe) then into 2 flows and out behind the rear wheels. I will be doing
the K&N at the same time. Then a little later going with the TB. Is this
overkill? Or would I expect the same performance using the Y pipe? Just
curios so I dont drop alot of money into something that will not be
beneficial. That and I like the sound of true duels better. :-)
