True Dual Exhaust

hey guys, just wondering how difficult it is to run true dual on a '96 z28. i currently have a full mac set up ( headers, Y, and cat-back) thinking of upgrading to hooker supercomp longtubes......
what i want is that nice rumble, and a little extra power.
if anyone can tell me if it's worth it, and what's involved, it would be very much appreciated. thanks

i was told that the fuel line needs to be re-routed, is that true, or is there any other modifications needed?

it can be done with relative ease....

you'll lose ground clearance and unless you spend mega-$$ to go over the axle you will have to dump it under the car before the axle. this tends to make it quite loud.

peak gains are probably 10hp on a bolt on car over a standard catback. howerver many notice a drop in low end torque due to lose of backpressure.

I have the lanes true duals over the axle. It is the best thing I have done. Its got the flo-pro twisters and sounds incredible. I am pretty sure that it is BS about loosing low end torque. Look at my dyno graphs, 300 rwt above like 1500 rpms's.
