Default Time for an exhaust question

New question, new thread. As of right now I have Pacesetter LTs and a true dual 3" setup and love it. Wanting to get a cheap X-Pipe and have the guy who did my exhaust put it on and also go from glasspacks (was on a low low budget at the time and couldn't go open headers) to a set of Dynomax Bullets. Would you...keep the dual 3" or go get a Y-Pipe and a nice catback (Corsa, Borla, or B&B Triflow)? I like the look my car has now, stock height with painted wheels but if i ever wanted to put different wheels on it I'd lower it cause it looks funny when cars have 17s or 18s on stock ride height. Obviously I can't lower it much with that 3" exhaust hanging down. Opinions needed. (Sorry if I'm driving you guys nuts)

Notch the frame a touch to tuck it up higher. Get rid of the glasspacks, and run bullets off of each header. The y-pipe and cat-back option will add 25-30lbs to your car, won't sund as mean and will make a little less hp than the true-dual setup you already have.

Well that's if his Dual setup deletes before the axle and dumps. I think though he has the exhaust going straight past the axles though. Not sure on that.

keep the duels......never go w/ a b&b tri-flow. My buddy had that, it was HEAVY as hell and it cost him about 12 rwhp lost due to adding it, needless to say, he switched back to duels.
