I have a Flowmaster 50 Series SUV. Nice sound at low rpm and idle, but it goes kinda weak when you accelerate.
Also, If your after performance, more torque is to be had by going with a single 3" exhaust setup rather then duals, that is of course unless you can do true duals. I have often read that single in/dual out performs worse then single in/single out or straight dual out.

I don't want to loose too much torque, but I want to have a good sound. I did have just a glasspack on my trruck but it went bad so I decided to do the rout of catback. How hard is it to run the true dual exhaust? Will it hurt the motor since it is all computerized unlike toe older trucks?

I honestly don't think the difference between single in/out and single in/dual out is really very significant, but for guys who want to squeeze every little extra hp and ft/lb, going single in/out seems to be the choice from what I have read.

I've heard it is pretty difficult to set up a true dual because you need dual cats, additional sensors, custom bent pipes, etc. Wonder if someone has a blueprint out there for setting it up?
