Duals on a 4.2?

Has anyone ever put or seen (heard) what dual exhaust sounds like on the 4.2 liter V-6?

In my opinion most 6 cylinder engines sound strange with true duals but some people like them.

Dave- do you know if Flowmaster makes a dual for the 4.2L? Wife told me she looked, she's a truck buff too; anyway she said she scoured their site and didn't find any for it.

I HAVE FLOWMASTER 40 SINGLE IN (2-1/2" ) DUAL OUT (2-1/4") .
FROM WHAT I HAVE READ YOU DO NOT WANT TRUE DUAL PIPE ON A FUEL INJECTED ENGINE .. TRUE DUALS DO NOT CREATE ENOUGH BACK PRESSURE AND YOU WILL LOSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF TORQUE .. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE SOUND OF THE FLOWS ..

What is everybody's opinion on the flowmaster setup? I have heard from a lot of people that they are a horrible company to go with. I do not know specifically why but that's just what I've heard.

V6's sound good at idle or low RPM's but when you start hitting higher RPM's you begin to tell that it's a V6. V8's have more of a roar but the V6's have more of a buzzzz when you give them gas.
