Default Side Exhaust

I'm trying to find some options for my exhaust. Right now its a single 3" coming straight out of the muffler under the cab. I want to get rid of some of the resonance by either dumping it or running it out the side in front of the rear tire. Only thing is that if I run it out the side I want dual tips because I really don't think a single side exit would look that good.

Also, I can't find dual tips with a 3" inlet that really look that decent. One option would be to reduce the pipe to 2.5" and run a 2.5" inlet tip but I think that'd kinda defeat the purpose of the single 3". Could I run a y to split the exhaust after the muffler and do it that way or are there some more options?

Part of the problem with the y is that I don't have a lot of room since the muffler is a 26" long Power Stick (31" overall length) and doesn't leave a lot of room to play with.

Input and pics of side exhaust would be greatly appreciated

The side exit was too loud for me even with two mufflers (one each bank)

Thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking. I sent him a PM.

Well right now for me, anything's better than straight out of basically a resonator with no cats under the bed
