Default Double bypass mod tomorrow?!

Tomorrow I'm getting the bypass muffler mod on my stock C5. Wondering if I should do the regular single bypass mod, or change it up and do a double bypass on each muffler? I'm thinking about doing the double on each muffler! Hopefully it'll be louder!

If you want loud, just cut off the mufflers altogether. In effect, that's what you'll be doing.

But it's going to be my DD. it'll probably drain my gas BIG TIME if I cut off mufflers. Plus I don't want to drive with a headache... But I've considered it, I just don't want it to be super loud

Gas mileage would depend on how it was driven just by cutting the mufflers off you wouldnt be able to tell a difference in mpgs. IMO
