Worth Dual Exhaust

[Not sure if this is in the right area, please move this if it is not]

I want a real opnion from people who know what they are talking about. Is it worth me putting dual exhaust on this? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2315251
I have a 3.8L V6, and it's a big 6, but the low end RPM is kinda sucky. So aside from sounding better, will it really give me that much more power, because if it won't i don't want to eat more gas. This would be a no brainer if I had a V8, but it's just the 6 so what do you think?

Thanks.

It really depends what, if anything, you have done to it otherwise. On an absolutely stock vehicle, you probably won't notice much of a difference, depending on how restrictive the stock exhaust is. I'd do a 2.25" dual setup, or a 2.5" single setup.

Long tube headers, high flow cats, no resonators, single muffler.

You might even suffer a loss of power.
