Get the muffler of your choice (straight through is the way to go) and get a shop to fab up a dual 2.5" system so they can then be how you want. Most kits are overpriced. 45'ed behind the tires looks pretty good on the 04-08 body style.

Are you looking for performance out of your exhauset? I was told that true dual exhasue hurts performance of the truck......bottom end power is lost??? THis is what i was told, dont know if it is true or not just thought I would say it.

Done correctly a dual system will give slightly better gains over a single system. The "bottom end" loss comes from moving the powerband with a larger system.

Why just run duals? Run 4 pipes from each header and out the fender well with 12 inch tips. But on a serious note search it. Seeing how there is a thread or 2 every day on exhaust.
