My vote......Labree's
LaBree's are two 1.5" pipes that seperate the trubo and wastegate flow. The combined cross sectional area of the two is equal but, the application of the redirected wastegate flow reduces vortitcies that confuse the turbo airflow. It is all theory but, proof is in the output.

Two 1.5" pipes does not equal one 3" in diameter.
3" area is 28.26 square inches. EDIT: actually it's 7.07.
1.5"X2 area is 14.13 square inches. EDIT: more like 3.53 (teach me for doing math while doing 12 other things at work ;/)
If I read you right, thats what you were stating. Otherwise I agree. There is solid theory and results behind the split design.
