I like my true duals that I recently put on. Love the sound. I swapped my 09 header for the dresser duals.Yes they say I lost a little on the low end and I am sure if I put her on the dyno the numbers would show that, but I cant feel it. I also wouldn't pay $1000 for a suit and like my $20 sneakers

Then you'd better do some head work and put in the 107 kit cause it ain't gonna happen with just changin' cams... and that would be a bet that I would take anyday of the week.

I know it's not going to happen with just a cam swap. As my original post stated, I was curious about the "stock" 2-1-2 Non cat headpipe and when the change would have to happen.

Keep the stock non-cat head pipe and use that money on head work...

Depending on the combination, you can easily see 10-20 more hp and same with tq. When you start talking about building an engine (stage III or more) the exhaust becomes a big factor. Some dual exhaust set-ups are better than others, but none will give you ther performance of a 2in1. Talk to any reputable builder and they will tell you the same.
