Talking Best Exhaust!!!

I want to know what would be the best sounding exhaust setup for my 4.6 engine. This is what I want to do: Gibson headers, no cats,h-pipe, true dual..... I dont know what to put on after that... I was thinking between 2 one chamber flowmaster, 2 40 series flowmasters( super or original), or 2 IMCO single chamber. I want my truck to sound louder than straight pipes after the cats(cuz thats what I have right now), and i want it to sound clean. No poping. Could you also tell me where I should end the setup, either out the back or by the passenger door. Will there be any interior resonance with any of these setups cuz I want it loud everywhere.


thanx

Out the back sounds better. 2 chambered 40 series Flowmasters are what I always use.

1 chambered Flowmasters would be like having no mufflers at all. 2 Chambered will give a more livable, legal sound.

So I decided to go with the 2 chamber. Should i get the super 40 series or the original 40. Should I change my pipes to 2.5 or leave them at 2.25?

Gibson ss headers, no cats, 2.5 pipes, h-pipe, (2) flowmaster 40's, tips with a 2.5 inlet and a 5" outlet. How will it sound with those tips too?

Post long tube headers?

Is there much power difference between the shorty headers, and the long tube headers? Does anyone know a good 2 1/2" or 3" cat back exhaust system?
