It's nothing really noticeable. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure my gas efficiency has increased slightly and I feel like I have slightly more power. It's probably all pscyhological since simple exhaust work doesn't render big results.

I love the look of duals, totally worth the money. I also didn't notice any power gains, maybe at high end.

Buying just a normal brand muffler and taking it to a shop here in town I wouldn't spend more than $125. That's custom pipe and everything.

Is there a difference (performance wise) between a true dual and just adding another muffler after the cat? And do you guys pass emissions? (with or w/o the resonator)

since our car was desigedn to only have one muffler one resoantor etc....unless you were to dyno run before and after installing the dual no one will know for sure if there is any benefit...unless ur turbo charged probaly not much help.
