Go with the better muffler like they said......But there's not a lot of room to run a second pipe over the axle.....You might get a better muffler to fit stock configuration ,but with better flow sound etc.

If it's already set with duals into one, get rid of those cats, put in a cross over to help scavenge and equal the pressure. That will also lower your temp a little. run 3" all the way if you have room. If not 2.25 to 2.5 will fit. Put the mufflers as far back as you can, this will give SLIGHTLY more H.P. and improved sound. Got a 95 2500 that has 3" single to dual out 2.5 to 3" tips. Went with flowmaster, nice idle sound not loud, sounds great under acceleration. Waiting for the rebuild to go true duals.
