98 Sierra 5.3 exhaust options? Pics needed!

Just drove my 98 Sierra OBS swapped 5.3 for the first time last night. Wanting to know what you guys have done for exhaust. Right now I have Schoenfeld full length headers and thats it, not leaving it that way. Will run high flow cats after the headers, trying to keep it somewhat emissions legal, but what have you guys done from there? Want it to have some rumble but not obnoxious, true duals with same side exit, maybe something like 2nd gen Lightning style?

BTW, I do have a cam swap already planned...

I did true dual mandrel bent 3" all the way back with an h-pipe through magnaflows. It's a little loud but no drone on the highway at all.

Any loss of torque going all the way out the back with 3"?

Not at all. This thing has really good low and mid range.

Good to know, no loss of torque. Was yours a kit from the cat back or did a shop put it together?

I built it myself

Nice!

I built mine as well. I also did dual 3" with an H pipe using mandrel bends. Its 14" x 4" x 9" Magnaflows, I have turndowns on it as of now but they are not pictured. Here's a few pics.

That's almost mine exactly

I think I remember you saying that in my build thread. I am considering adding tailpipes to mine eventually but it sounds great now.

I had turn downs right off the muffler for a while and I think it sounded better but was just to loud at 5am. My neighbors probably hate me enough as it is.

Ran out the back like in the picture I believe it is in the second post would be clean! Even if it's single 3". I've ran it in front of the tire on multiple setups and the only would that didn't sound flappy was my 3.5" 5x11x22" magnaflow setup I had on my crew cab. Others had any annoying flow master sounding flap in it. I'll post videos with details on the entire exhaust.

5.3 220/224 .53x on 112 cam, LT with ORY, 3" si/so offset magnaflow 5x8x18, can't remember if it was behind the rear tire or in front of it here. Pretty sure it was behind it tho with 4" tip. Probably my favorite setup on this vehicle.

I went with 3in pipe with a y pipe haven't finished it yet tho, I guess ima get a borla xr1

Here's my setup, schoenfeld headers, 2.5 mandrel tubing, borla pro Xs mufflers and generic tips. Sounds pretty awesome, also I used V-band clamps for my joints.
