    What Les2 says, Single= stack on passenger side, Duals = one stack very near your left ear.

    Not saying im the best or i know it all because we all make mistakes and someone correct me if i am but being an exhaust junkie, Is it not quiet enough with the stock set up because adding another stack and putting a muffler there will not quiet it down any as the others have said if you add another stack its just putting another outlet closer to you. Think of a regular car with factory dual exhaust they are just as quiet as single but they are less restrictive and tend to have better performance and economy. Maybe this will help if your talking about adding another identical stack it would sound the same as the one you have now just it would be closer so in turn would seem slightly louder but really its a noise illusion which could be helped by how you have your outlets pointed meaning if you are using curved outlets point them going behind you. And just my opinion but I just swapped out my single stack muffler for a straight pipe and she sounds nice this is my first truck that I've been able to do it with as to I've only been O.O.ing it for about a year and a half and previous truck was emissions isx biggest boat anchor ever which does not have mufflers just dpfs which now cannot be legally taken off. I believe in the saying loud pipes save lives. Hoped this helps.
