i wouldnt get anything to ridiculously loud because it gets old after a little while. i would try for a setup that is loud when you get on it but quieter when on the highway or in a neighborhood. this will be hard to accomplish due to the nature of TD's. i have over 50 cuts from you're stupid header install dude...

I have a TSP TD setup with spiral flows for sale at the moment. I loved it when I had it.

I vote for duals, but I say go custom instead of premade set. A custom bent 2.5" or 3" set can be tucked up very well as oppsed to the TSPs. You can also have them set up to avoid things like tranny, driveshaft, fuel tank, and rear end. That way you dont have to take the exhaust off whenever you try to take stuff out. They will cost a little more, but if you do it right the first time, youll never regret it.
