As above, a cat back won't really make much difference no matter what you go for
So if it's sounds and looks you are after, duplex all the way!

If you are looking at 'open cone' induction then yes that is true... however if you go down the 'closed' route then you shouldn't have a problem.

probably a stoopid question but does it matter how you route the induction to the wing, i.e is it best to have the least connectors / pipes possible to get there or does it not matter.
how far can you route the induction and would it cause adverse effects if routed a long way
hope you can see where im coming from because i am crap at explaining things.

The less bends and the shorter the route the better.
If you must have bends then smooth & shallow curves are best.

Simplified...
Sound - Open Cone
Performance increase (slight) - BMC / ITG
