The only thing is aesthetics on the SVT's b/c there are two openings in the valence panel. Think about that... :rolleyes:
Why do Ferarris, Corvettes have duals? Granted, Prancing Ponies and Vettes have larger displacement, but differnt motors require different parameters. Small displacement blown motors used in racing applications (and yes I know we are discussing street cars here) more often than not have duals. It's a contextual argument. Can a single be as good as a dual, yes I agree with you there. But it is application dependant. I am opening up my exhaust (Duals)to permit the escape of copious (broderline heinous) amounts of N20 laden exhaust gasses.
Also, I realize my response fails to acknowledge your accurat use of the term quasi......
Ramble off!
