Default True Duals?

I have seen on this site that true duals give you less torque. Is this true and is it a noticeable difference or is it a slight difference? FYI I going with a 50 series Flowmaster. All comments are welcome.

Not true at all.

I love mine, and I didn't notice any torque loss.

It would really depend on pipe size and muffler choice to determine whether you lost and TQ or not.

Yea if you go with 1 inch pipe you lose torque. I reccomend 2.5 inch. Unless you have big mods coming. 2.5 inch pipe is good for up to 600 hp. Thats what I ran on mine. I gained HP and torque from idle to 5500 where we let off on the dyno.

True duals are two seperate pipes coming indipendantly from each side of the engine right.

It is suposed to equilize the preasure between the two pipes for more torque. Im sure Ngm will correct me If I am wrong, but that Is what I have been told.

Is that so you get the same flow out each pipe.
