which would flow better? 3 inch catback system with off road y pipe and longtubes, or 2 1/2 inch true dual with x pipe, bullet mufflers and longtubes. Secondly...which one would cost more?
Third, which would sound better? I like loud. Fourth, is it possible to put dual electric cutouts on a true dual setup??

As you may guess the true dual-longtube-dual cutout system is what im wanting as money allows.

I have true 2 1/2 in. duals behind hooker long tubes on my 97 T/A and I love them. The sound is awesome. I did my whole setup for about 400 bucks which includes about 220 for a dr. gas x-pipe. I know a lot of people have done the x-pipe setup for alot cheaper. Sorry, I don't have any sound clips or dyno numbers, but you won't be sorry.

Go with the true duals. You won't be sorry. That is what I had planned for my car. I think I heard somewhere that somebody picked up like 15 or so HP from switching to true duals...but then again that sounds a little high...so who knows. The sounds alone is worth it though.

Does that include labor or did you do it all on your own? what would you think an exhaust shop would do it for if i had all the parts?
