<<snip>> either going to be a
3" in/dual 2.5" out or a 3" in/3" out with a split just past the axle to
dual tips (saw some pics of a guy that did that in the same style I want,
GTS style, both pipes exiting right under the license plate next to each
other). Does anyone know if there's any performance difference between
these two setups? <<snip >>

Also, on this note, I have read a marginal (<2hp) increase in performance
from the one in/ one out mufflers VS the one in/ two out. Such a small gain
for me isn't justified in the cost of buying another muffler ... if a guy
ran true duals, that's a different story.

But one has to always keep in mind that the exhaust is only one minor
modification and you can't expect a 14 second truck just from making the
change.
