going dual Exhaust

I'm ready for a new exhaust, I have looked before but im still not sure on which muffler to get. I was looking at a super 44 last time but i dont know if thats the sound im after. i would like a nice deep rich tone, i dont not want any clapping or ricer sounds!

DynoMax Turbos sound pretty good w/ 2.25”.
I have a set of their Welded Turbo to use on my next project.

I'm leaning towards the flowmaster 40 series right now. I'd like to keep it under $350. also what size pipes should i run? i've 2.5" would they give me the best sound? I'm also thinking about doing all stainless steel worth it or not?

If you go too big on the pipe you WILL lose power… 2.5” may work but everyone to their own. MHO...

its duals so its just going to be inferior to a properly sized single, but not like it really matters on these trucks anyways the @ssdyno will feel the same.

try for 2.5" in 2.25" out

I run Flowmaster 40 single in dual out with 3.5" tips. The inlet is 3" and outlets are 2.5". Doesn't sound like a ricer to me at all.

I have a Cat back that was custom done. Starts at the Cat goes into a Cherry Bomb Glass pack which is very loud now all worn out, exits dual into 24"x3" Black Polished SS Tips. I prefer tips comming down out the side rather than out the back if there is a hitch there it just complicates everything.
