Dave,
I hope you will be able to test the redline/gxp dual outlet exhaust as well as the stock 2.4 single outlet. I suspect the redline has less restriction because it is louder, has a much larger volume muffler and two outlets. It was designed to handle 260HP in the redline/gxp (with the added restriction of a turbo), why shouldn't it work well on a stage II SC? I've read that a turbo will add about 33% more backpressure than just the muffler. There are a few of us that went this route to gain the dual exhaust look for our 2.4's and are happy with their sound and looks.
