single or dual exhaust? Dual costs a little more, but is a necessity if your putting headers on. What are you after? Sound, performance?

Its all preference. Some prefer one brand and others prefer another.What I would recommend, is doing a search for sound clips for your engine.

You might also think about headers. They'll improve your performance a little bit too.

Get some long tubes and run dual 2.5" pipes. I recommend a turbo muffler, they perform well and are quiet until you get on it. You can get cheapies for as little as $20, or get a bit more spendy and go with a better flowing turbo (I recommend Dynomax Super Turbo). Glasspacks are just obnoxious and not necessary for a stock motor.
