I am looking at replacing the stock muffler on my 02 for something that has a LITTLE more sound. I don't want anything loud, just want it a little louder than the stock muffler and something you can hear when you get your foot in it. I would like dual pipe out the rear. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I want the same things as you and when I get my tahoe I'm going to get a magnaflow muffler to replace the stock one..

Most any exhaust shop can dual it out for you, you just need a dual-out muffler. The cost difference isn't that much.
Flowmaster 50 series has a nice growl to it, check it out (not mine, courtesy of Caddis from TF):

Thats the regular 50 series muffler, you can get the 50 Series SUV muffler if you want it a touch quieter.

I would go with a magnaflow single, I would stay away from dual pipe you will lose low end performance, if you are just going for the look get a dual tip or run a dummy pipe

Which 50 Series exactly is in the video Yuke2k (I know its not your truck, just figured you might know)? Flowmaster has different mufflers under its 50 series c ategory. Nothing labled "regular" For example: 50 Series HD, 50 Series Delta Flow, 50 Series SUV Performance, and 50 Series Big Block.

I ran the 50 series as well, single 3" in, dual 2.5" out.

when i had dual exhaust, i went with a 2.25" pipe instead of a 2.5" to avoid that.

50 series delta flow is would give it a growl without being obnoxiously loud. I bought the delta catback for my old explorer and it sounded nice. I could barely hear it in the cab but in it sounded nice on the outside.

That still come out to 4.5 in pipe still to much for a 5.3 anything over 3in and you lose back pressure

I'd rather have deeper sound then worry about a little back pressure, always 2.5" for a V8, IMHO.

Honestly I'm not sure man. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say it was the 50 series Delta Flow, but I'm not 100% on that. I know it wasn't the big block or the SUV muffler, he would of told me when I asked. It's gotta be either the Delta Flow or HD. Prolly the Delta.

I only have one to recommend because I've only ever upgraded one muffler. Check out Spintech. I have a Spintech Sportsman XL on my Ram 5.2. Gives it a little more rumble, a little throatier sound, but it's not obnoxious. When I was looking I asked the muffler guy about dualing it out. He told me he would if I wanted him to, it was my money, but I could go to a 3" pipe from the cat back, get the same results, and save money. I think my Tahoe already has a 3" pipe so all I plan on doing to it is replacing the muffler some day.
