Default go duel or not

Thinking of going with duel exhaust on the truck. Would like to go duel with 2 magnaflows and an x pipe either dumped or turned out in front of the right tire with 2 nice tips. I know this probably wont help performance with no more than I have done but it should sound good. I have a magnaflow 12579 right now and it is just a tad quieter than I would like.

For the tips get the Gibson Sport tips. Then it will look just like my SuperTruck exhaust. Duals sound good, but I'm not familiar with Magnaflows. Around here everyone goes with Flowmasters.

If the one you have now is too quiet, you dont want the duals. My duals are quieter that my previous single in/dual out magnaflow with tips out the back. You may try getting the smallest muffler they make to louden it up a bit or remove you cats. I still have mine but will be taking them off soon. I can let you know how much louder that makes it.

My first one was the 5x8x14 and now I have (2) 4x9x14. I see that your's is a 5x11x22 so the two smaller mufflers may indeed give you a bit more sound. I didn't realize you had that monster to start with.

I like it alot.Has a nice deep tone,not too loud.If you want LOUD this isnt for you.But if you like a nice deep performance tone this is a great setup.No interior drone at hwy speeds,even with it dumped before the axle.
