What's the power and driveability (noise, drone) diff between having a stock car with msds headers, but a 2.5" trubendz or a 2.25"-2.5" true dual ?
Does true duals give a 5 - 10 hp boost over a trubendz setup ?

That's the million dollar question.
Just by design and efficiency it's a given it makes more power but the amount more is not a set number.
A stock car may see just a pittance of benefit. A highly modified car may see a ton.
On my 2.5L I felt a noticeable difference going from an extremely good Y-pipe setup to straight duals. (no balance pipe even)
No dyno numbers but over 1 mph in trap speed under worse conditions.
I felt a nice mid range boost when I added the balance pipe and sound quality was improved greatly. I'm sure I gained across the board but the butt dyno could only feel the 4000-6000rpm perk in torque.
My 3L runs the same setup and does well for itself.
So yes it's worth it...
Now the catch.
You'd have to build it yourself. I wouldn't trust a shop to do the job worth a damn.
That means a bunch of mandrel bends, some straight pipe sections, a chop saw, a die grinder, and a welder at bare minimum. 2 resonators, flex joints, and mufflers of course.
I ran my straight back. Added the 4 extra bends per pipe to go around the tank would definitely diminish some of the efficiency.
An exhaust is only as good as the build quality and junction points.
If they are not top notch then neither is the exhaust. 'nuff said.
That's also the reason I recommend the Tru-bendz to everyone.

anyone run flowmaster exhaust? 40, 50 series? I had one on the probe and it gave it a nice low rumble, not ricey at all. I am worried my csvt will sound like a honda.
I was going to go with magnaflow but some people have said they are a bit loud. any opinions on this?

Flowmaster blows - PERIOD!
MAgnaflow out flows them and sound/looks better.

Id have to give another vote for Magnaflow...  
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

thanks for the votes...I just want to make sure they weren't too loud. I watched some video of a CSVT with magnaflows, they didnt' seem too loud, however that was from inside the car.

Wow, very passionate about this subject. It almost sounds like you could be selling Magnaflow products...
Flowmaster is just not really ideal for this type of car, if I'm correct. I bet they still make great products for V8 powerplants.
Truebendz are cheaper than other cat-back systems for sure. You could also keep your eye's on the classifieds for used exhaust systems. Save lots of $$$.

Even so, Am I lying in what I am saying?  No, I don't think so.............. He can put a Flowmaster on for all I care (and have it soujd like sh!t), and he can by Magnaflows from whoever he chooses, no skin of my nose. But if he wants the best flowing, best sounding, best qualiy - all for the most value for money; you cannot beat Magnaflow.
