Dual SI/SO mufflers with an X pipe towards the front will sound the best. SI/DO or DI/DO will still sound good and will be a little less expensive. I still suggest an X pipe for DI/DO applications even if it has an internal X. SI/DO a better Y pipe up front will help. Really can't go wrong with either of your muffler choices. Borla may have a little less drone for the volume.

If you're going duals put the X where the stock Y is now.

Since you have an 06 you should only have two cats to begin with. Unless you want to change the sound a little, there's no real advantage in high flows.

Default exhaust sizes?

Need some info on muffler and pipe sizes,I think I got hosed at Midas. Should have known better. New muffler looks much smaller than original, and pipes also are smaller. Help, I'm sure this is restricting air flow ????
