Absolutely not true. I have way too many friends with true duals and none of them sound like a 4 banger...

I swear my buddy's 1500 something or another Chevy sounds like a four banger honda when he's hitting high rpms from a distance. Has some kind of single side exit exhaust on it. Must be a bowtie thing

My Cherry Bomb Extreme si/do gets that nice glasspack sound when its coming down to an idle from a rev. Not too sure how it sounds otherwise since it sounds a lot different in the cab then at the backend by the exits, and I don't let anyone else drive my truck to do a driveby for me . Sounds nice though. Not sure how much it might have helped or killed my torque/hp from the dynamax that was previously on there, but I definitely like the sound better. (http://cherrybomb.com/extreme-mufflers.html - 3" in/ 2 1/2" out think it would hurt or improve power?)

Sorry if I threadjacked a bit
