It depends on what you want from your exhaust. Sound, looks, performance, price? Duals look nice and normally sound good, but they are heavy and don't make much power and are a little more expensive on average. Single on the other hand are normally cheaper but a lot of people don't like the single look not to mention they tend to be loud and make a done noise. But the singles almost always make more power and are much lighter.

You can't have your cake and eat it to.

I originally had an expensive comptech dual exhaust that sounded great but I sold it and bought a loud ass invida single that makes a lot more power with my FI setup and shoots flames.

This isn't totally true, since you definitely can have peak performance from a quiet 49 state legal dual exhaust that weighs less than stock. My custom "dingle" wasn't cheap or easy to build, but I believe it is the best overall exhaust ever built for an S2000.

If you really believed that you would be selling dozens, and wouldn't stop at a few

First, dozens aren't profitable. I would need build quantities in the hundreds to make it profitable.

Second, it doesn't matter what a seller believes. A buyer isn't going to buy unless HE believes it's worth the price.

good points, but you gotta start somewhere (which I think you have), now you just have to finish.......the product, IMO
and you do have a very persuasive way of convincing people it's worth the price.......data, data, and more data, lol
maybe some marketing or a website would help, idk. get the data out to more people. But I have zero experience with any of the above mentioned. Just opinion
