0 performance value. more sound and extra option for whatever tips you want.

if you want some growl in your exhaust.

also. it is really only for aesthetics. with a magnaflow, you can go anywhere from dual tip (2 on 1 side), dual (1 on each side), quad (2 tips on both sides).

options are kind of endless. and depends on how much sound you want out of your 320. there are some that have straight pipes, some that remove resonators and secondary cats. like i said endless options. and im sure if you do a search for exhaust you can get the idea of what you might want to do from other members.
