not a lot of difference I don't think as it's just after the backbox that is different!

I believe there is evidence to suggest the twin box system can give more power on a properly set up car.

And IMO the twin box makes a nicer, deeper noise, the single box systems tend to be quite raspy.

The twin box obviously puts another silencer in the exhaust tunnel though, therefore lowering the ground clearance, so there can be issues if your motor is lowered etc.

But for power, as I said, the twin box system is reputedly better from what I've heard/read.

I've got a single box, and can't hear anything over the exhaust noise when I'm driving. Its a bit too loud sometimes to be honest.
