Default Duals or a clutch?

I'm torn between these two mods right now, I can't decide which one I want first. Right now, my car is up on jackstands waiting for my Jet-Hot longtubes to get shipped back to me from being re-coated. While I've been waiting, I've been thinking of either getting the TSP Rumbler dual exhaust, or saving my cash and putting it towards a new clutch (probably a spec 3i). I don't know which one to choose! I have a Magnaflow exhaust right now, well actually just a muffler and tips welded onto the stock I-pipe. I'm also on my stock clutch, but it hasn't been slipping or showing other signs of needing replacement soon. I'd have to buy a '01-'02 slave, and upgraded hydraulics for a clutch swap as I have a '00 LS1. I'm also planning to add a nice set of heads in the future. So tell me guys, what do you think I should do? I'm so confused...

Yeah, you guys are right. I should have thought about true duals before I did my exhaust. I guess I'll just get some in the future. For now, I'll be saving up for a spec 3. Thanks for the advice guys.
