Default Duals on 5 sp?

Just wondering if anyone with a 3.9 manual runs duals? Not sure if it would sound too good. I am satisfied with my single in single out fm40 but still want it to be a little louder without sounding like a ricer.

watch the tips. my muffler shop only had one set of chrome tips... 3" or so. grrrrrr... sounded like a top fuelie with a truck cam. just plain aweful. paid to have the tips removed, sounds much better with the same muffler.

You should keep me informed about how that goes and how it sounds. I am afraid of the popping/crackling of the manual shifting. Also, if you go too large with the outs you might lose low end i heard?

You'll also gain more torque with smaller piping. ;-)
