Do true duals rattle your interior? My cutout that dumped under the rear passenger seat did a number on my console as far as making it rattle. Will true duals do the same thing? Is it better to have the turndowns or not, as far as interior noise and vibrations?
The Bullets I had on mine would vibrate stuff pretty good, due to the resonance. Since I did the ST swap though, I haven't noticed any vibration. That and I remembered that I had a radio! 
Duals will make many more vibrations than a single cutout, naturally. This is one of the reasons I ditched mine, along with the poor ground clearence. Make sure you get the turn downs to angle out the side at much as possible without burning stuff, this will greatly reduce the interior resonance.

Maybe I should be more specific, true duals that dump before the axle, do they rattle your interior?
I had bullet mufflers on my 2 1/2" X pipe setup on my previous camaro and yes they did rattle the interior a little, and make sure all the change is out of the console or it would rattle like crazy. They were a little too much for the long trips (when she rode with me she would hate how she couldn't hear the radio)...but that comes with a high flowing performance exhaust

I highly recommend Sweet Thunders. You won't be disappointed.

Seriously - you will probably find some 'loose' interior pieces after true duals.

Mine were dumped straight down (3" with 1-chamber Flows) and it'd drive you nuckin' futs in 6th gear around 70mph.
