Worth going to a dual exhaust?
I looking to upgrade my V6 to either a GT style grill from Street Scene, or get a GT take-off front. I have plans on swapping out the stock muffler with an American Thunder based upon the discussions I've read.
So here's my question, since I'm looking at GT take-off's, I could get a package deal that would give me the front and back bumpers from a GT and allow me to have a dual exhaust. Is there really any benefit that I would see from moving to a dual exhaust? And when I'm talking dual exhaust I don't mean using the GT take-off exhaust, I'd go with dual American Thunders.
The upgrade to the stock muffler is more about sound than any real power increase. So what's the consensus?

well if your going to go with flowmasters I would probably go with duals. They are just a little more restrictive than the MRT and you would probably see a very minute gain going with dual flowmasters over a single flowmaster. Also I just think that duals look better and if you ever go F/I you will get better performance with duals than with single.

Its mainly for looks. but it sounds really good. i had a guy in a 05 v6 convert stop right behind my car and check it out for a couple seconds before he sped off. It gives the car a better look.

Ok, this may sound suprising......
....but hind sight 20/20, doing it over again, I'd probably go single. Not because I don't like my duals, but because I want people to know it's a six. So I put a 4.0 badge on the trunk, and a license plate that says its a six. But a single would have saved me a lot of money. I've been through 4 exhaust configurations. LOL.
