first of all you can't run true duels on these trucks because the O2 sensor is placed after the manifolds come together. secondly I wouldn't order any premade exhaust parts, I took my truck down to the local exhaust shop and had custom duels run all the up to the O2 sensor for a lot cheaper than ordering from JC-whitney or any other parts store. Not only that, but I think that custom exhaust sounds a lot better than premade parts. But thats just my opinion. Go for a longer gp for a lower rumble and a shorter gp for higherpitched and more cackle. On my truck I have two 22" 3" diameter gp's loud side out and this beast sounds mean.

duel = fight between two people
dual = two of something

Get it done at a shop. No one offers a true dual setup for these trucks. You can run true duals, but you need to have someone weld in an H pipe crossover to mount the O2 sensor in. Closests to the manifolds as possible. Running cats will keep it from being too loud and sounding like crap, and it will help keep some of your bottom end power. Run dual converters, pipes and mufflers. You really should go single in duall out, without any major mods because you will see apower loss off the line with the true duals.

Just dont go too big or you will lose some low end power. You can run true duals, have someone weld in a crossover for the 02 sensor.
