I did true duals on my '89, and I wanted mufflers that wouldn't kill a lot of power. After watching Engine Masters' cheap muffler shootout I got Cherry Bomb Salutes in 2.5". They're too loud for my tastes, and I need to finish the tailpipes out, but the sound is not raspy at all, and everybody who's heard it has commented they like the sound.

Opinion: Too many people try to make their trucks louder thinking it will sound badass without changing the cam. A loud truck with a stock cam is like buying a Corvette to compensate for a small manhood. The whole reason we associate "loud" with "badass" is because a big cam requires a free-flowing exhaust which is naturally louder. The caveat to this is that our trucks came with an exhaust that wasn't even adequate for the stock cam, so I'll reserve judgement on trucks that are a little louder than stock.
