Torque Exhaustion

I have an 84 3.2 and installed a Flowmaster 2 in/out....it's a little on the loud side, but I want to be heard in this small car.

Anyway, the only mods I have that affect the motor is the S.Wong Chip, TRE Headers, and a lighten flywheel.

My questions are:
  1. Am I losing torque due to the dual exhaust with OEM intake?
  2. Would capping one of the outlets help to increase torque, or it doesn't matter?

I would invest in a CAI, but the OEM seems to be pretty good as is.

I know I lost some torque due to the light flywheel, but the exhaust is easier to address at this point. I also realize by capping one side the exhaust will be a little quieter.

My concern is I'm letting out more air than I'm taking in, kind of like taking a breath, then opening your mouth wide and letting out air...I think!
