Do cherrybomb extreme. The muffler itself is cheap but flows good and sounds amazing. Heres what it will sound like on your truck.....

Magnaflow sounds very deep and mellow under normal driving, but sounds awesome when you get on it.....and Magnaflow is great quality as well. Don't go too cheap here or you will be replacing it again.

Im pretty sure im gonna go with magnaflow. Does putting in a dual exhaust affect any of the sensors or shorten the life of the engine cause thats what the guy at Midas said and i need to to know what u guys think and know

Changing the muffler and adding pipes wont hurt anything. The only way you would hurt the engine is if you ran a VERY short exhaust like open headers. As long as you have full length exhaust cold air cant get into the engine and warp/bend valves.

I would say take your truck to another muffler shop because that guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Any time you are dealing with a shop and there is no repor with the guy doing the work. Get outta there as fast as you can because you are not going to be happy with the work. Be very careful who works on your ride. Good luck...
