Default Need exhaust opinions.

I'm having some trouble deciding. Currently bolted on to my heads and cammed lq9, ASM LT's, 3" true dual Quickflows, no cats. My first idea was to put a reversible dual 3 in and single 3 out since it would bolt up the easiest.
I could also put a 3" dual in/out right in place of the quickflows.
Or should I start over from the headers with 2.5 with some sort of y into 3" with a cutout and 3" in and out magnaflow with tail pipe?
I'm basicly looking for a nice tone with no rasp. Something sort of quiet in the cab. Any suggestions?

I Have Been Very Impressed With Performance And Sound From My pace longtubes, 3" Into 3" Y Pipe No Cats To A Dual 3" Outlet 40 Series Flow. A LIL RASP @ 2000 TO 2500 RPMS AT HALF THROTTLE BUT NONE AT NORMAL DRIVING AND NONE AT WOT. IT sounds really throaty. it IS semi-quiet IN THE CAB, until you get on it, BUT TOLLERABLE. I TRAVEL IN MINE AND IT ISNT TOO BAD.

Cool. I've had flowmaster in the past. It sounds good but doesn't flow good enough. I really like the straight through design mufflers.

It depends on which length you choose. I have the 22" M/F and it's fairly quiet, but they also make 18" and shorter versions that will be considerably louder.

I've had Flowmaster and Imco 'performance' mufflers but it'll be M/F for me from now on.

Should I get the dual in/out or single in/out. Would there be a big sound level difference between the two? Also, anyone know if DMH is a good brand electric cut-out? I see them here in Summit for $189.

I have heard DMH is a good cut out. This was a while back. I think any exhaust system without cats should have a cut out and a quiet muffler. That way you have an option.
