I say stick with the cat back, the duals have a lot of interior noise, and that gets old and fast.

I like mine with the magnaflow system. It's not to loud while driving but when you hit the gas is sounds great. Just my $.02.

Well, if your shop will do that much for $80 - then you should have enough left out of your $500 (after the X & bullets/mufflers) to cover having them fab the duals on out the back. Then the interior noise wouldn't be near the issue as dumping it before the axle and you would still pick up the extra power of having duals.
