There are a hadnful of people running duals. 2.5" seems to be the flavor of choice, though I've seen dual 3".

i did know that the x-pipe helps performance, i just want to keep each sides sounds seperate. people who are running dual 2.5, does it hang down at all? i know there is alot of room next to the tranny and drive shaft.

2.5'' duals are even easier if you DONT use an Xpipe... although it sounds like you are not goinna use one because you are looking for a certain sound? instead of getting more power? silly man! you should re-train your ears and brain to appreciate the most power providing exhaust as the one that sounds the best to you...
pssst, there is even plenty of room to fit dual 3'' under an FC... an fmy FC has an oldschool Hurst shifter too

with the more power thing, i was actually thinking of no mufflers and just crimping the pipes. the sound i am looking for is what my dad's '66 vette with side pipes sounds like.(which is awsome.) my only question with the crimping is, where the hell do you get it done? on his side pipes it came like that from the factory.
as for fitting 3" pipes, that's great!!

When you say crimped exhaust, are you refering to the chambered exhaust of the
late 60s ?
I have the JTR 1" 7/8 longtubes into a 3" y-pipe, and into a racing beat single tip.
My initial thought when I fired it up was "Sounds like a 69' Z28 with chambered
exhaust."
Was thinking it would be too quiet with the racing beat catback but was pleasantly surprised how great it sounds. The LS1 does have a hotter cam tho.

i did what i should have done in the first place, searched. i found these things called powersticks. just straight versions of the old chambered exhasts systems. my new question is that, the inside diameter is 2.5 or 3 inces then outside is 3.5. will that two of them fit?

fit where?
in the tunnel?
NOPE... no way, especially not if they are more than 24'' long as there is hardly any sections of tunnel where the piping can be straight for a long distance.
completely under the car?
SURE... but you will lose some ground clearance.
