i couldnt complain about the system that was on my vy ss. paccy 4>1's in 1 3/4" with ceramic coating, 3" paccy metal cats, twin 3" x force in stainless. was LOUD but in my eyes...or ears sounded good. only thing was that it needed to be tuned so the fuel cut off is de-activated to stop it popping and farting on overrun.
yes it will loose a tiny bit of bottom end but the gains are alot better in the top end.
i got just the twin 3" to begin with and made no really noticable seat of pants difference.
