Well if you want really loud, the loudmouth is the way to go and it should give you a pretty good performance boost as well.

Can you afford to get longtube headers soon? Will you be getting them in the future?

There is more to exhaust than pure volume. You want a nice sound too..and of course power. I love my duals. With stock manifolds/cats the loudmouth is okay. With headers and ORY you will want something with a real muffler or it WILL sound like (unless you like high pitch rasp)

Headers with a loudmouth have to be the worst sounding exhaust for an LS1

Another vote for duals
