Default Muffler help!

So every now and then. I hear trucks like mine (90s) drive by me and they have a real loud and aggressive sound to them. I'm not sure of it's just a race muffler or a single chambered muffler or glass packs. But I'd really like to figure it out and have mine switched out for whatever it is. Right now I'm running a thrush 2 in 2 out 2 1/4" piping. Just little stuff. Didn't want to get into changing it all. I've heard a few with single chamber mufflers and it's kind of how I would like it. But can't find a single chamber with 2 1/4 pipes. What's the etiquette on reducing a muffler in and out 1/4 inch and running 2 of them? Anyone have an obs vortec 350 that's aggressive and loud? The thrush one isn't as loud as I would like. Or what do people think of running 12" glass packs? Anyone have them on their truck? Power loss? Anything? Thanks for the help!

I can't see it being no cats around here. Won't pass an e test without them. And it didn't sound like it was just straight piped either

Do you have a video of your truck Craig? I wanna try to figure out what it is and see if that's it. How do the summit glass packs sound? Did you lose any power at all? How long is the glass pack on it?

Did you just have the codes pulled right out of the computer Matt? What program was used to tune yours?
