If you want true duals... go no bigger than 2.0" on V6, 2.25" on 318,
use a H pipe, and run a muffler with some back pressure. Have true
duals on my LA 318, and it runs great. Much better than stock single
exhaust.

I would not recommend true duals on a V6. I am not sure it is good on a
318
either. You may not loose mileage but you will probably loose torque
and you do
not want to do that. I do recommend high flow converters though.
