Are you running duals? or just a normal catback? I am confused.

Well, thats what you have heard. Seen any data showing a loss? If you want to replace to replace, thats cool, but dont go by what others have said.

Anyways, here is a cool idea for a catback, and it wouldnt be all that expensive, and it would sound awesome:

Take the Flowmaster off, put in its place a sweet thunder chambered muffler. Now you have a single exhaust, but what about the pass. tailpipe? Ok, you have a pipe made to branch off the pipe that comes over the axle. And then run that pipe straight into its stock location. But, in that pass. tailpipe add another sweet thunder chambered muffler. Now you have a GMMG "style" catback. I say style because you are using 2 chambered mufflers in a catback. Take the mufflers to a good exhaust shop, tell them thats what you want. I doubt it would cost over $100 for them to do, being that they can use a lot of the stock piping.
