Listen to Mr E.

This is a double post:

Any dual exhaust will have twice the noise as a single. Quad exhaust, twice that noise. You are literally doubling the amount of exit points for the noise each time.

While a noise increase is certainly the result of removing the cat, etc, thats not the primary reason for the noise.

Also, because of the imperfect nature of the world, it is impossible to actually get the same performance out of a dual pipe that you would out of a single- no matter how equal it looks on paper.

This issue has been debated until the rocks have turned into sand. The only time dual exhaust is not detrimental is when you're using each pipe for different cylinders, like the dual exhaust for some cars from the factory, or a Mugen exhaust (I forget which car it was for), or when your engine is full of so much hot as to make Playr look mild by comparison.

Coming from a single pipe and then splitting will always result in performance losses over a big pipe. Of course, what pipe size is right for you? I'm not getting into gas scavenging in this post.
