ive always been told that dual is a much better choice over single. thats why i bought mine and its sweet. true dual all the way out. i bought the entire exhaust system from mazatrix.com. it came with rb header pre-silincers and your choice of rb or hks mufflers. i got the hks but if your going for loud the rb is what you want.

dual is pimp IMO, if you could go w/ true duals you might see some signicant power gains.

your going to want a louder stero. I had 2.5" duals into 4" echo chanbers and even normal driving iw was very loud. When I would really get on it I could not hear my own strero. My stero was nothing fancy though.

Mine has a huge exhaust leak right at where the pipe hooks to the manifold and it's annoying as hell.

Oh man i ran open headers on my NA for a while, and its cool for like 30 seconds. Its SOOOO loud, but its not really a rotary sound...its hard to explain. SO MUCH NOISE. alot from the sound hitting walls and trees and echoing back to you. loud fosho but doesnt sound good.

...94% correct.
One of the prvieous FC's I had I wanted to make something stupid loud...so I put a 2.75" wide mandrel 90* bend off the stock manifold and ran it through a cut-out in the pass fender right behind the front wheel...it was exceptionally cool to look at and sounded cool for about 3 minutes. From a distance it sounded like 12 really pissed off rexes coming to eat something...
If you want to do something that'll just annoy people then get a couple of 15" or bigger thumpers and drive around town playing bad music at 450db...it seems to be a really effective tool used by the thug/wigger crowd in my neck of the woods.

If you want to do it yourself and want good sound, stick with the stock manifold, ditch the cats, get a pre-silencer of some variety, use a quality canister muffler, and plumb it all in a single exit 2.5" exhaust. You'll have a good balance between expense, sound, and volume.
