I bought a set of GT takeoff mufflers for practically nothing on EBay and then had my local muffler shop make a custom H pipe for me. I REALLY like this set up on the V6. Under acceleration there's a beefy growl but no drone or intrusive noise in the cabin while cruising. To me it's just the right balance.

This is a clip with just a GT muffle, no dual exhaust:

Sorry for mic quality

I have an x-pipe with GT takeoff mufflers and no rice sound here

Going duals will reduce the back pressure. Mine is a 5 spd and I noticed the car does not slow down as quickly when I reduce throttle off the brakes. I had to get used to this especially on the down hill corners where the 50 hangs out. If you are going to cut the rear fascia I found both the FRPP and Pypes templates to be off a bit. I used tracing paper on the factory cut and reversed it on the other side. Be sure to use markings to ensure correct alignment. My set up - Shelby GT mids, custom H-pipe and GT take offs. Nice sound and not too loud to be a problem.
