You can still get a sound with alot of ***** w/o going the dual exhaust route... I don't understand why everyone thinks you cant? That "rough, unsteady-idle" sound has more to do with the cam and heads you have than your exhaust system.
My Z28 has a set of Hedman shorties (68470), modified Hedman Y-pipe, and a Hooker 3" catback. My system is a real 3" system from the Y-collector to the muffler.
Now... Even on a stock-with-bolt-ons 350, my car sounds just as tough and "60s muscle" as my cousin's '63 Galaxie 500, which has dual exhaust and a 390ci big block.
Headers though, will not give you a deep, throaty sound. The muffler(s) and tips will do that for you. You will want two long, large diameter tips to get that sound. Like a pair of 3"x22" tips would work nicely.
Headers will make your exhaust sound uhh.... tinny. They will change the sound for sure though.

Here's just one example of a complete exhaust system you can get from a vendor (I'll use Jegs):
Hooker 2055 Super Comp. headers w/y-pipe- http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...54&prmenbr=361
Hooker 16823 Aerochamber 3" cat-back exhaust system- http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...17&prmenbr=361
Dynomax 15622 Super catalytic converter: http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...26&prmenbr=361

i like the 2 following
Hooker 16823 Aerochamber 3" cat-back exhaust system- http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommer...217&prmenbr=361
Dynomax 15622 Super catalytic converter: http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommer...226&prmenbr=361
so do you think if i got the 2 following , it will add power and flow along with a little more sound as well?

Benm109,
Great advise - thanks. Here comes the old question again - if I have dual cats, should I go to a single? I live in an area with smog checks.
