Exclamation Exhaust help!

My exhaust is rusted out pretty much everywhere and sounds crappy, What is the best possible set up for our trucks? Im gonna get pacesetter LT headers and then what?

X,H or Y pipe? and I wanted to go with true duals but turned down, with either a set of two flowmaster 10 series or aero turbine 3030XLs

would this combo also need to have two cats being true duals?

Help before I waste money.. thanks.

Best and cheapest true dual set up would be to run an x pipe to a 2in/2out cat, then to 2 mufflers. Put the front o2 in the x, and the rear in either pipe after the cat.

Well I know thats gotta run better than what ive got now, and I wanted the X pipe or the H. Do you think two mufflers would sound bad or no? and like a dual inlet dual outlet cat? Didnt know they made those.

They definitely make them, I've seen one before (believe it was magnaflow).Cant say much about sound, never heard a true dual ram. Alternately, you could run it to a 2in/2out muffler if 2 mufflers doesn't sound good to you.

Sounds good as long as the outlet pipe is big enough. 2.25-2.5 inch should do nicely.
