Well, if I remember correctly, there are at least two active members here who have done it. Can't recall who though. Just a little something to remember. If I recall correctly, doing a true dual setup on an SVX and most cars for that matter, the use thereof will diminish power. So, you can have the sound you are after, or you can have the power. I wish that both could be achieved under the same circumstances. A really good single pipe system with a dual outlet muffler will give you the sound you want and the same look out the rear of the car. I'm currently pondering a side pipe setup similar to that of the SLR Mclaren Mercedes. Lotta options out there.

This was one Subafreak's car but I now have it on mine. Opened up my high end a great deal but is a little too loud. it is 2.25 all the way back with no balance pipe

I could be wrong on this but I was under the impression it would still increase power, just maybe not where you wanted it. The more the exhaust opens up past a certain point should make power on the high end but it might cause you to sacrifice it on the low end. Granted Im acting under the impression this is all done with in reason, eg not just removing the exhaust or running something like 5 inch piping back
