Here you go buddy, maybe you can get some ideas from here: www.ls1sounds.com. I finally found what I like by go with a 3" cutout.

I'm pretty happy with my single 3" Borla ProXS. It was pretty quiet until my header gasket started leaking. I get lots of compliments on how "mean" it sounds.

Install a crossover pipe and a helmholtz chamber near the muffler on each side. These will greatly reduce the exhaust noise.

Typically 26 inches long and the same diameter as your exhaust piping will kill noise around 2k rpm.

Pm me your email and I can send you a spreadsheet that lays out the math on this if interested.
