Question Exhaust ?'s

I will be buying the Dynatech long tube headers w/ cats.
Basically, which cat back system will work and sound best with this set-up?
I've looked at magnaflow, but I'm skeptical because it is too quiet. It sounds good for the 5.3 trucks, but the LQ9 6.0 exhaust system has dual exhaust pipes going into the muffler instead of one.
Any suggestions?

Jim

with the headers on there, quiet won't be a concern.

Question

I just want to make sure it's not going to have an abnoctious raspy sound to it like others complain of with long tube headers.
Does anyone have a sound clip of a LQ9 6.0 engine with long tubes w/ high-flow cats and a magnaflow cat back system?
Any VHO, SS, or LQ9 6.0 swap owners????

Jim

I think Magnaflow sounds great on about anything, sounds nice just cruising and then really talks to ya at wide open throttle. My buddy and I do some auto detailing and we had a dodge dakota the other day with the small V8 in it, had magnaflow cat back system on it and even it sounded mean as hell and I am no dodge fan.
