My five cents on dual tip muffler: (it may not be true) from what I've heard a dual tip will actualy pass gas better than a single tip, because for an example: if you have two, 2 1/2 tips that would equal five inches of exit compared to only three or four inches of exit. although by splitting it up into two tips may cause a slight restriction. Any thoughs from the experts??

Depends on how the design is, but yeah, the magnaflow is a very smooth transition. Not to mention you're increasing the surface area to the muffling material so it SHOULD be quieter.

The cross sectional area of two 2.5" pipes is equal to one 3.5" pipe:
2*[3.14*(2.5/2)^2]=3.14*(d/2)^2, d=~3.54

What I've heard is that two pipes tend to be quiter than a single pipe, any truth to that?

I like dual tip mufflers for the supra - looks stock and keep unwanted attention away... This is my problem with my new 91 Supra Turbo - she came with those "fart cans," and I either get tailed by A) law inforcement B) "fast and furious generation." I'm looking into that dual tip exhaust that was released by HKS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKlAE5PRoU4
