Exhaust Help/Opinion

Okay, you guys have probably seen my pervious post about my exhaust system. True Dauls, Headers into a Daul Inlet, Outlet Cat to Glasspacks, then out the back. But now, after being at Lime Rock for two days i'm think about now just doing Headers in to a daul cat, then out to Supertrapp Mufflers at the end. What do you think. I figure it will bw better to do it this way because i will be able to tune the exhaust so i don't loose all my tourqe. I need some opinions.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

I knew a guy who did that that went by ssfirebird. He liked it, but I would just get a dynomax cat back. Be cheap cause in the end a good cam will do more and if ya get the dynomax you can get the cam...

Dynomax plus cam = wins over a true duals

yes but true duals + Cam + Edelbrock intake + 4bbl. Carb + Port and polish MPFI Heads = The best performing 2.8L 60° V6

You can make your own better intake by removing the divider between the venturis on the intake.
All you need is a free 2-bbl S-10 intake to play with. I'll give ya the info from GM engineers who said to do this.
PS the thing is aluminum!
