Check it out (from searching the engine/intake/EXHAUST forum)

If I recall there was also word that SR may sell a better cat-back dual exhaust for the 2003, I seem to remember seeing a pic here but can't find it now.

The V6 has "true" duals, but the crossover pipe sucks rocks.

Not sure about the I4 2003 though.

I believe not all cars have true duals. I would see the advantage with a V8 or higher or maybe a high PSI turbo. But with this V6 I don't think the true duals will help that much. Second, the extra cat and pip would add to the weight of 3,000 lbs (not good). Though I will tell you are right about the current exhaust sucking! Their coming out with a replacement that will make it ALOT better. If you want to reduce weight, go single exhaust. I am sure it wouldn't be hard.
