Default Which exhaust setup would work best?

Basically i want a powerful idle, a very loud WOT, but as little drone as possible. Could you guys help me decide what the best setup would be?

#1 has a 1 in 2 out muffler. I don't know that much about chambered mufflers, so i'm open to suggestions. However i was thinking about the Hooker Maximum Flow.


#2 has two bullet mufflers placed after a small Y pipe. This is the setup i'm defaulting to, my reason being that if 1 bullet has some noticable drone but sounds very loud, 2 bullets should cut back on drone while keeping the sound aggressive. The bullets i'd be using would be Dynomax bullets.


#3 has a bullet or other 1 chamber muffler placed in the intermediate pipe before a Y pipe that goes to the tips. I'm afraid this might be too loud given the exhaust placement, but that really depends on the muffler.

If you are going to keep your cats, I would go with the first set-up but with a 14"case magnaflow....

If you keep the cats, get a 4x9x11 Magnaflow. Trust me. But if you loose the cats, the rasp is horrible about 2700 RPM

yeah i'm definitely keeping the stock cats for now. Can anyone say from experience whether a single bullet is ungodly loud or not?
