any thoughts of going with a Y from downpipe to a single pipe? maybe oval pipe? (assuming it will lower the weight)

precisely why I was asking.... I dont want to spend extra $$ on this project to just save a few pounds because I think an Akra is in the immediate future for me. However if it will impact the sound I will consider it.
As far as the Y near the DPs... well to get the volume (3 dimensional space not decibals) of two 2.5 diameter pipes I would need a single 3.75 inch pipe. I dont know how easily that will fit in the space. I dont want to stray from the round piping because I dont know how that affects turbulence and flow. If you or anyone has expertise in the area and can show me the benefits of it I will consider it.
There is significant weight saved between the OEM mid pipe and these, but yes there are a few pounds that can still be saved by going with a different material (Ti) or single larger pipe. I just dont know if the $$ or trouble is worth it for those last few pounds, especially as I said an Akra is most likely right around the corner.
