Eh on true dual w/ an X. I'm sure I'll get blasted but I dont know why it is such a popular setup on an N/A motor. Just an FYI but I would seriously consider 2" piping if ur gonna go duals 'cause exhaust velocity may be an issue. 4.6 punisher mentioned wanting more off the line acceleration with his true dual setup and he has 4.30 gears...Personally with duals I would get some tri-y style headers 
. What you may lack on the top end because of the tri-y's the dual setup will probably make up for it. This route would be more expensive but well worth it. I love mah Pacesetters but then again money was definitely an issue 
.
Bottom line if you go duals then at least consider the tri-y route. If you go for the standard 4 into 1 header consider the OBX setup.

wow, talk about castrating the motor if someone follows your advice as it wouldn't be able to rev over 2,000 rpms @ WOT he doens't have a 4 banger, he has a modular V-8
the 2.5 inch exhaust is proven over and over again on these triton motors, the X-pipe helps make up for the intake restrictions in the higher rpms on the N/A motors
with a centrufigal supercharger or a towing truck the 2.5 inch exhaust with an H-pipe will yield more low end torque
