After reading your post, I probably won't. Thanks for the warning 
Thing is, I like the sound of my car better than some GTs I've heard. So I'm afraid to change the setup fearing I won't like it. But I really want the dual look. So I'll probably have to do some research in the near future lol.

DON'T DO IT, SALLY!!!! Trust me. Re-read my previous post.. and if you still wantdual straight pipes, then print my post, and re-read it before you go to bed, when you wake up, during leisure time, and when you're in the bathroom.. etc.. Trust me, your car will sound embarrassing!!
I decided to get this fixed as soon as possible. I'm not totally sure on what muffler to get.. Magnaflows, Flowmasters, or others. So,settled on acouple Thrush Turbos,sincetheywere only $20 each at the Autozone, to cure the problem now.If anybody here has actually opened up a muffler,most ofthe "turbo" mufflers like Magnaflow, Dynomax and Thrush, (and GT-takeoffs, for that matter) are essentially the same inside.
I had the Thrush mufflers installed today, and it quieted down my Cessna Mustang PiperCub crop duster John Deere tractor sound. It now sounds like I have GT takeoffs. Quiet during a simple cruise, but a nice rumble under acceleration. It's not as aggressive sounding as I prefer, but it's definitely a nice sound. Sounds like a V6 again and not like a Geo Metrodemolition derby.
Is anyone else running true duals without a crosspipe?
On a side note, I'm sure the muscle car era guys here would appreciate to know that the Thrush's still come with the Woody Woodpecker stickers.

I was considering doing an X pipe when I go duals. But I think I'd like to see what it sounds like with just straight pipes first. It sounds great with the one so we'll see when the time comes But in the morning, my car sounds more mean and rumbly thanwhen it's warmed up
