racing beat catbacks for single

i was just wondering if anyone has any flow problems with a bigger single with either the single tip or dual tip racing beat cat-backs? also, which one would have better flow? from some searching it seems people love the stock look (i hate big tips) with the dual. and the fact they are really quiet. i had my dual n1 on, and holy **** it was LOUD. now i have a tanabe g-medallion too, its quieter, but has that big tip. so i really like the idea of the rb dual, but dont want to restrict too much flow. anyone care to comment on the flow of these catbacks?
TIA

I haven't heard of any flow problems. I know that there are quite a few guys here on the forum running big singles and the RB dual tip. Hopefully they will chime in with any poisitive or negative feedback that they have. If it helps any, I'm planning on running the RB dual tip on my half bridge 13B-REW project that will be running a GT40R setup at 20psi. I was told that I wouldn't have any problems with it. Just my .02 though, take it for what it's worth. Laterz.

Just so you know. The RB Catback is a straight thru design, just like the ricey fart cans that are out there. There should be no difference between the RB and your Apex N1. The only difference is sound, and sound on a catback does not = horsepower.

i know sound doesn't equal horsepower, but sometimes flow is compromised for a quieter system. so i was curious. now the problem is finding one for a decent price/trade for my other 3 catbacks and misc. parts from my single conversion....anyone??
