I like the way dual sounds over a single, singles just tend to sound really raspy

No ****ing way it's louder than mine. Mine is like a freight train, not a good sounding one for now. But if I had your car, I would get longtube headers with a dual 3" exhaust.

The next one I have planned is a divorced dual 3" with 2 resonators and one big muffler stopping at the differential with downturns and 350evo sway bar. Without any welds.

to be honest, I wish my car was just alittle quieter. Before the engine build it was alittle quieter and it was ok then. I think when I supercharge my car, I will make my own exhaust, dual but with an X pipe this time, and at least 2.5 inch piping, longer Vibrant resonators and probably Borla mufflers and I might cut off my HKS resonators and weld them on the new exhaust

I have a cutout that will go in. My car is pretty loud now. I look forward to making it quieter and then when I want power opening the cutout.

I have not heard one aftermarket exhaust on these cars that doesn't sound riced out and like just plain ****, sorry, but not my taste. The exhausts sound horrible.

I agree, but it all depends on the other mods too. The sound my car used to make with headers and HFC's combined with the HKS dual was awesome IMO. It was a unique mid-high pitched sound without any rumbling or rasp.

if it was REAL HKS i bet it did sound good. That knockoff **** sounds like garbage. I bought one of ebay just to try and have as a backup and GAVE it to a guy on craigslist. Im not one to bash replica anything but EVERY replica exhaust iv heard sounded like pure crap. Im on number 14 and i can say my personal favorite best sounding dual is Motordyne hands down. Single would prob be Megan racing single for LOUDNESS. I owned Agency power and to be honest wasnt to happy that i switched out my MR for it. Now best sounding single would go to AAM.

you still planning to do the intake shootout? if so, does your tuner have a way to measure intake manifold vacuum for each intake kit? it might help to know what each intake gives with respect to vacuum.
