A single inlet dual outlet Flowmaster is a good choice. Sounds great on mine and looks great with the dual stainless tips coming out the rear.

Gibson is a nice big cat back single muffler you should consier. E.g. Summit carries them. It is a complete stainless exhaust system and you won't have some mom and pop shop bend you up some ****ty system that will then dangle from the trucks behind like I see it way too often!

The Gibson piping is also the same route than factory, so you can still tow stuff and put a boat in the water.

I just put a new cat back system from Borla and have been happy with it. You can hear it when you are on the gas and when at cruising speeds, it's quiet like the stock exhaust. Great performance upgrade for my 98 reg. cab 4.6L STX.
