stock piping is either 2.5 or 3 inch. im not sure why you have dual pipes either but needless to say you have true duals. what you could do is keep the duals. get a dual in dual out muffler and still dump it. it should sound different and depending on what muffler you get, it will be louder than stock. most people get the super 44, or 40 series. but it depends on your loudness preference.

Keep the duals. Dual exhausts offer more mid-range power while single offers more top end power.
Stock pipe size should be 2.5", make it 3" and you will get a louder exhaust.
And also as stated, get a dual in dual out muffler, not sure what you mean by "dump it", getting rid of 1
Of the outputs making it a 2 into 1 maybe? But iiwy I would stick to 2 into 2.
