Not sure I totally agree with you on this one. 2 - 1 pipes are the best for power and torque, no arguement from me here. The part I am struggling with is that true duals are for looks. My experience has been, when properly tuned, the true duals make more overall power. Again, that's just my theory. Someone can set me straight.
You contrdict yourself, 2 into 1 is the best performing power wise than any other exhaust, thats not just my opinion but held true from all major tuners, that said if power is what your after and you choose to go with something else less efective, say true duals you must be doing it for looks. Because true duals regardless of how much you like them will never out do the performance of a properly tuned 2 into 1 system.

What I meant to write was "My experience has been, when properly tuned, the true duals make more overall power over stock exhaust set-ups"

Sorry that was confusing. I didn't finish my thought.
