Default Best exhaust setup

Well i might a set of headers for x-mas and was wondering what kind of setup would be the best to run either a x pipe and no mufflers, a x pipe style muffler, 2 single mufflers and a x pipe or a h pipe?

Second is where it will exit i cant decide if i want regular duals out the back or behind each wheel or both pipes out the back on the same side like the ram srt-10. let me know what you guys think and post up some pics of your dual exhaust!!!

I'm partial to dual straight out the rear exit slant cut tips. If it were me and I was putting headers on, I would go all out and have true duals. I dont know about the crossover. Is that really required?

Not true duals, but I removed both resos, installed a flomaster 44 with exit in front of the passanger tire. I have a post somewhere on here...

Blown is running headers and duals and I believe he said once he is not running a crossover and we didn't need one. I looked for that thread but can't find it.
