Default 03 GMC Sierra Magnaflow Dual catback

Anyone have the dual 2.5 exit Magnaflow catback on there Truck(99-04) Ext cab fleet side Z71? The system with 3" to a muffler split to 2.5 out the rear?
I would like to get it for my 03 Z71 because if I ever wanted to upgrade in the future to True duals I would already have the rear 2.5 exit pipes(stainless). Also I have had on other Trucks, Gibson, Borla and Flows and wanted to Try Magnaflow.

The only magnaflow I have seen in person is the single system.
I have the BBtriflow on my 99 but it came with rear 2.25.

Any comments/pics links?
Thanks

I had a true dual 2.5 Magnaflow with an H pipe on my 01 and loved it. Eather way you go, you can't wrong with Magnaflow. I love their products.

If you are going to run NA I think you should stick with the 2.25" dual exits, especially if go true duals. Any larger and you will see more of a backpressure loss and loss of low end grunt.

What I'm trying to acomplish with my 03Truck.
1) to have a stainless cat back with 2.5 rear pipes so if and when I S/C,etc, I can upgrade with duals and still retain the rear pipes, I would like to have this option. In the meantime have a decent catback until I make the major changes

i'm running into this problem with my 99 and now I may have to go with a all new exhaust because my catback has 2.25 and I don't want to run dual 2.25 pipes from the headers back.

2)Any pics of how the rear looks with the magnaflow catback under the fleetside bumper?

3) I think the BBtriflow is a great exhaust and I still may keep it after the work is done on the 99 this winter.

Talking Magnaflow

I have had the following on my y2k 2wd 5.3
ravin catback-3" in x2x 2.5" t/pipes- very loud -power ?
dynomax ultraflow 3" in x 2.5 dual out-- nice sound no power-not due to t/pipe size but baffle plate in muffler.
PV, 3 in 3 out single system , 10 hp over dynomax on dyno, sorry John
it's loose inside.
magnaflow 3" catback- a little loud, resonance at 1500-1800, same power as PV. Absolute best product on market for these trucks. company
is committed to task and 1st class product at their price point.
