Well, despite the possible "claims" from this on their site; personally, imo, I would tend to stay away from the dual outlet pipes, as they have been known to cause tuning nightmares from what Ive not only heard, but also read on in past threads, and just from overall experience knowing people that have tried them before.....

The main problem with these is that the aren't tuned pipes but are just mufflers instead.

I have to back up Matt on this one. Although I've never tried one I have to say that I would'nt becouse of everything Matt listed. I have heard and read the same.

the thing is that i don't care about the performance gain. i just liked the way it looked.

i think ill get it if it isn't a complete PITA to tune but if it is then ill go with something else.

those rear dual output pipes are definitely not the best, to say the least, they may look awesome, but you'll get a decrease and power and tuning will be a nightmare

I have a Tsais dual outlet one of my Revo's and it runs great...never had any tuning problems with it. It starts first turn with a rotostart and idles great and drives well, it's responsive on the throttle without stalling or hesitating.
I couldn't fault it.
