true dual setup

I need to get an opinion from yall for a true dual setup on my '99 5.4. How does 2 94306 high flow cats with an H pipe to two 11" (or possibly 14") Magnaflow mufflers turned down sound to yall? It's 2.5" pipe by the way. I am still trying to figure out if I want to turn it down before or after the axle. If you have any suggestions please feel free to chime in. I just want to do this right the first time. Thanks in advance.

Sounds alright. Might lose a little low end power but nothing noticeable unless your hauling a 4,000lb+ load.

a little, it'll be as loud as no crossover, but not raspy. Running no cats or no mufflers is where rasp comes from.

My exhaust is far from raspy and its pretty much what your building.
