No it won't sound weird. The only weird thing is that a truck will sound like a badass mustang.

You shouldn't go with true duals because your giving your performance away for a sweet sound. You can get just as good a sound with the same volume with a single muffler with dual outlets.

True dual straights will not sound weird, its a V8 so it will sound good. If you want a deep rumble and not "loud as hell" as you stated earlier, then your best off not going straights, get mufflers. My truck gives a nicely volumed deep rumble. If you want loud as hell, true dual straights with hi-flow cats.
