Default Another exhaust ???

Ok guys i just got my Lts and i am trying to figure out which exhaust set up is going to perform the best for me and i need some help. so heres the options i was thinking of..3" ORY off the LTs into a single 3" in/out muffler(magnaflow or borla XR-1) and then come out the side right in front of the rear tire with the tip, or Dual 3" off the headers into an X pipe and then to a dual 3" in/ 3" single out muffler. i will have a cam within the next 6 months and then maybe a bottle later on down the road. so which exhaust is going to perform the best for my needs. And you guys are welcome to throw in any ideas that you think will work better then what i have listed.

Thanks in Advance,
Derek

I think the x pipe would be really nice, it would give you great sound and performance!!

dual three inch will turn your truck into a dog, unless you planning on a large blower here soon, your motor wont have any back pressure.
i beleive there are multiple members that did the same then went back to a single 3"
you could do duals with an x but 2.5" max

dont do 2.5" exhaust! stick with LT's, 3"ORY, single 3" all the way back, get that borla xr1, it'll sound real good..
