Single or Dual, which flows better? Depends on what sizes.
What are the specs on your motor? Standard/a bit warm? or wildly worked?
I've seen single 3" systems fitted to quite hot 308s, and twin 2" or 2-1/4" fitted to warm motors. I think the standards was a twin 1-3/4" system or something wasn't it?
A single system can be just as good as a twin system, but you've gotta make sure you've got the right size (unless there's forced induction involved) to get a vaguely correct backpressure for optimum performance.
Also depends on what amount of mufflers/hotdogs/resonators you want to run, have you already got some extractors in mind? and more importantly, a price range?
But yeah, I'd say list some more specs of the motor, I take it you'll want it suitable for street use? so not too loud. etc and some other points to make it a little easier to find what you want.

price range is up for what i can get power wise
street noise not the biggest issue for myself as mr plod would have a field day if they caught me anyway

if fitting Pacemakers pipes to cars with High Energy sumps, when ordering from High Energy just tell them that you will be running Pacemakers and they will modify it for you.Pacemakers are the most commonly used I think.� You just buy an off the shelf set for the LH 308.� They are a Tri Y setup with 1 5/8 primaries I think, which would be about what you are after I'd think.� Only thing is are you running a High Energy sump, if so they won't clear, which is why mine are a custom set.� There was talk of Pacemaker fixing this problem, don't know if the new pipes have hit the market or what tho... Twin 2 1/4 system would be good too, bigger tail pipes are personal and so are the X pipes I reckon, there is evidence for both sides on that one.

Simply putting in a balance pipe about level with the end of the gearbox between the two sides to even the sound out. They sound like crap to me without this.
I am lucky in that its actually my Uncle who has been an exahust fitter for 25years thats doing mine.
While on the subject though, I need the rear hanger that bolts to the body just in front of the rear diff on the drivers side for the system.
I have put an "ad" in the wanted section but thought that maybe I might have better luck here!
