I have the what's about what you are considering and it's quiet until over 5KRPM and then who cares. Here's what's on my RX-7 (LS-1); Stock manifolds to magnaflow cat's to X pipe to the straight through Magnaflows and it's pretty good and NO droning. All in 2.5 inch.

The larger body Magnaflows cut down on noise allot. There are tons of choices so just shop around.

Magnaflows are quiet, but if you can find an SLP Dual/Dual muffler..... Jump on it.

The only problem with the Dual Dual is that its TOO quiet under normal driving and idle, at least for me. I originally had Loudmouth 1 and it sounded sweet but was a tad too loud and had A LOT of rasp. The Dual Dual is pretty loud at WOT but could be a bit louder at lower rpms. I am going to add a electric cutout, I think. I am debating either adding dual y-pipe electric cutouts and another in the traditional i-pipe location...so I can have various exhaust notes when needed OR getting the Kooks true dual exhaust and dual electric cutouts off the headers.
