if you're N/A shouldn't you look for a non true-dual? don't true duals lose power on most n/a cars? would getting some HFCs and a dual muffler have similar gains with a different sound and possibly cheaper budget?

Why would you lose power with a true dual? Hell naw!

A: HELL NO!! This is a myth. High exhaust velocity is good, backpressure is bad. The way to achieve high exhaust velocity is by picking the correct sized exhaust for N/A. If your exhaust is too small, it will create backpressure. If your exhaust is too big, the exhaust gas velocity will be too slow. That is why people do not drive around with 4" exhausts for N/A.
