Your giving up some torque with FlowDisasters....straight through is the way to go...and you dont get that sound that sounds like a kid stomping his feet in a big pedestrian tunnel.

True duals are a waste of money... You'll make better torque with a good 3" single split dual setup.
And as for the programer... Again a waste of money. Have it custom tuned. Blackbear, wait4me, etc, will tailor the time to your truck, not some "close enough"crap time from a programmer.

More torque with an H crossover and 2.25
But I must say, My cousin put dual 2" on his 98 Burb, and that SOB pulled really nice...even in OD. He would pass on the freeway, just barely pushing the pedal.
And, it was stealthy quiet, even with 18" Magnaflows...18MPG all the time.
Totally agree with GreasDog on the single 3" single to dual split. Thats what I ran with my TPI. It was split into dual 2" tailpipes.

So what goes into the single 3in? 2 in pipes off the manifolds or collectors to 3in muffler, then split coming out to two 2 in again? So do you use a 3in inlet with dual outlets? Esplain it !!!
