Maybe this can help in your decision
A 2.75” (stock) single system is good for a 310hp engine with zero loss…
A 3” Single system is good for a 370hp engine with zero loss…
A 3.5” Single system is good for a 503hp engine with zero loss…
A 4” Single system is good for a 657hp engine with zero loss…
A 2.25” dual system is good for a 457hp engine with zero loss…
A 2.5” dual system is good for a 513hp engine with zero loss…
A 3” dual system is good for a 812hp engine with zero loss

Can you explain loss? So if you make 600 HP at the crank you lose HP if you only have a three in. cat back? How much.

I DON'T KNOW.
A Y-PIPE SET-UP ISN'T BAD OTHER THAN THEY DON'T ALWAYS FLOW ENOUGH FOR NITROUS CARS OR BLOWN CARS.
FOR MOST N/A APPLICATIONS, A Y-PIPE WILL FLOW MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR YOUR SET-UP. UNLESS YOU HAVE AN INSANE N/A SET-UP, OR A MAX. 346 BUILD.

Well the Pacesetter headers are SHIT!
And true duals for what a bolt on car? Not needed on a street car with minor bolt on mods.
Most loose power and only gain noise.Don't be afraid of the bottle!!! Be afraid of your tune!!!

Pacesetter LS1 F-Body headers are one of the best LT headers for the price.
I guess no one that puts duals on a bolt-on car will ever mod beyond that.
Looking to purchase full exhaust?? Motor back??
Planning on future mods??
Get Pacesetter F-body longtubes and true duals. The motor will respond GREAT to internal mods with that set-up.
Or you could drop a bunch of $$ on an expensive header set-up and a weaker flowing y-pipe set-up.2008 Trailblazer SS

what you are saying doesn't make since to me. Pacesetters don't flow enough, but the true duals flow too much? Or were you talking about quality?
true duals usually sounds better imo. listen to a bunch of clips on youtube and decide for yourself. besides headers, its really the sound you should be looking at with exhaust.

You get what you pay for.
Sure they flow enough. The fitment and the build quality are my issues. Sorry but putting headers on a F-body isn't as easy as putting some on many other cars. I can't see saving $200-300 and having issues over speed bumps and curbs because my cheapy headers hang low under my car.
For a driver you mus remember the side effects of having duals with no tail pipes.
Dust and dirt kicked up by turn downs
Exhaust coming back in the car when cruising with the windows down and tops out.
Most are pretty loud and tend to get nerve racking after a while on a regular street car.
