No one "needs" back pressure. Tune for it.

you don't need dual 3 inch. the only time you need that much is if your running FI or high HP like over 500 to the wheels. then a 2.5 will hender you. You will loose low end it's jsut a fact unless you have enough power to make up for it or a supercharger to help you down low.

Just go with a single 3" IMO. I was running true 2.5" on my truck til 2 weekends ago. Went back to a single 3" and am much happier.
