Duals would be of limited benefit since you can't run two equal lengths. You can get a dual outlet muffler. The large factory cat also quiets the exhaust a lot. You can get free flowing aftermarket units that are much louder and will probably open up the performance a little. Unfortunately we are sold out at the moment (really good moving item).

If you do full-length duals, do an X pipe somewhere, otherwise it MIGHT hurt low-end torque.
Way back when, we had a few people posting in the V10 forum that said they had lost low-end torque, either from headers or dual-exhaust, or other exhaust mods.
However, in the past 2-3 years, we've had plenty of people do exhaust mods and report NOT losing any low-end power. Me included.

Check out the v10 sub-forum. Several threads over there.
In summary:
The stock exhaust is pretty darned good. Minimal benefits, if any, to be had from changing just exhaust parts.
A V10 is a V10, and will never sound like a V8, nor nearly as good. Most of us think a loud V10 sounds like a pissed off loud V6. A unique sound, but not necessarily a good sound.

BTW, V10s do not sound good with dual IMHO. They sound more like Nascar than like a truck. A single exhaust helps give a smoother tone, and if done right, and be very deep too. A V10 is hard to make it sound good, my advise is aside from going with a smaller cat, there is little to be done to make it louder or better sounding.
