If you run duals, you have to lose the spare tire. I know some people that have duals, but no one has done it (that I know of) and kept their spare.

I recommend taking off the front 2 cats (the pre cats), then adding a Flowmaster 40 series 2 in 1 out. From there - 3" out the back. You will definitely enjoy the new sound... Should cost you around or less than $250 for the hole job including the muffler...

If you are going to run duals then use the 2in 2out. The 2in 1out is for running a single pipe and losing the spare tire...

I've got a Spintech 2-1/4 dual in, 3" out and it is the best sounding truck around here. It's different from the same old flowmaster sound, great cruising sound and when you get on it it gets even better. The best part is that it's made out of 16 gage aluminized steel, so it won't rust out in two years like the other guys. The 3" pipe was kind of a pain, but I brought it straight out and kept the spare. It cost less than 200 bucks installed, but you've got to take it to someone you can trust fishing that 3" tailpipe out the back. Good luck.
