Default decreasing exhuast backpressure

i have a 99 accord coupe 4cyl and it has dc sports headers with a dual exhaust. i drew a rough picture and i will get pictures soon. the headers are 4-2-1 2 piece which then goes to the cat then to the resonator and from there it splits into dual pipes with their own mufflers, some ppl told me that im losing backpressure with that setup but i love the deep tone it gives. any feedback?

I dont think we need a picture, pretty sure everyone knows how a dual exhaust setup works.

If you're not having any problems, why worry about it?

I've heard two different stories to that...

FIRST, i heard that have dual exhaust would decrease your horsepower because its better to have all the power leaving through one muffler

TTTHHEEENN, i heard dual exhaust actually increases horsepower because something about the flow of power leaving...

ALL i know is,it looks nice on the 6th generation and up...

Just leave it like that....Its not like you going to blow your engine and whatever its pretty much harmless.. i was thinking of changing my exhaust to dual also..NOT a definite though
