At what point will I benefit with a true dual exhaust
I currently have a 3" single with ASM headers. I have all bolts on possible along with a 212/218 cam but will be going with a begger soon. I am considering going with a true dual exhuast with X pipe. I just know if doing this will be feasable

I want a sound clip when you get it done!

JMO, but I think you'll be happiest with your existing 3" single exhaust UNLESS you're really to go to a bigger (with more HP) engine. Duals look and sound really cool, but probably are overkill for engines of less than 400 HP. Again, just my opinion.

I agree. Stick with the single 3" until you go FI or start making some serious HP. That being said I just swapped to a true dual setup on the 4x4 even though it's N/A now. We had to build a new exuast system after removing the STS so figured why not makie it sound cool. We did a dual 2.5" with an X-pipe and 2 magnaflow bullets. Can't wait to hear how it sounds with 11:1 compression

I am not sure of the exact math behind it. I just know that when I was building my Mustang for about 600rwhp the answer was always dual 3" exhaust. This was an FI setup.
I also see lots of 600rwhp+ LS1 guys running eaither dual 3" or at min. a single 4" Mufflex system.
With these kinds of details I feel that a dual 2.5" would be good for a basic FI truck or a top notch N/A combo to allow for some back pressure for daily driving and also because our exhaust systems are much longer than those of cars which adds restriction.
Maybe one of these chaust gurus could clear this up a bit for us.
