true dual 305 set up, is this a good deal and will i benefit?
hey guys i have until tomorrow evening to decide if i want to take up a muffler shops offer on a dual set up.
currently i have a mild 305 with shorty headers and a single 3" dynomax catback into a cherry bomb vortex (no cat)
they offered me to run two pipes next to eachother from the y pipe and dump before the rear axle with two dynomax bullets for $190. The piping would be 2 1/2 for each pipe, into 2 1/2 bullets.
Would it be worth it to swap into that set up and would i see any real gains/benefits from doing so?
i really dont want to lose any backpressure any help info on this is appreciated.

You don't need dual 2 1/2 for a mild 305.

Not worth it. No gain. Will make way too much noise. Keep what you already have and save your money for something else. If anything set it up like a G92 car with two 2 1/2in dual cats into 3in catback. Your gain will be 10-15hp with some back pressure. This is how we do it in SoCal.
