Straight pipes and dump it right after the muffler, no pipes or tips. High Flow cats will get you more sound also.

you lose a lot of torque when you elimate the midpipe.. but straights sound awesome.

I had an H-pipe built for mine with turbo tubes. It doesn't sound ricey, but more throaty. I like the sound alot, for my daily it's great. You'd definitely loose the back pressure needed if you went straight duals. The h-pipe I've got was super easy to make. I can tell you how they did it if you want. The turbo tubes are cheap and they're great if you have clearance issues. They're still street legal too, just not as loud as I think you want. Dump-offs are in your ballpark I think. Really loud..., not my cup o' tea, but if that's what you like,....

A screwdriver, a hammer and your mufflers will take care of that nicely
