Full hooker exhaust or true duals?

The Jet Hot LT's are going in within the next couple weeks hopefully. Just as soon as I can get access to the lift at my buddies shop. I originally was going to get true duals but I don't really have any shops within 100 miles I'd trust to weld up an exhaust for me. So I thought for a similar price I could just get the Hooker Y and the Hooker catback. It would still sound good but the sound would be subdued a little to make it more tolerable since it goes out the back. I could just get a cutout welded in somewhere if I really wanted it. The lowest quote I had for duals was around $250-300 and they had no idea what I wanted them to do no matter how I explained it. I would install the catback and Y along with the LT's myself. Do you guys think this would still sound good or should I go with the duals. I'm figuring the catback will cost about the same as the dual install and the mufflers for the duals will cost similar to the Y pipe. In the end the overall price will be pretty much the same. Or do you recommend a different setup vs. the hooker catback. I really like that deep throaty sound. Right now I have a cutout on the stock exhaust and it sounds great, I wouldn't be bothered when it's louder. I just worry that if it dumps below the car like now it will rattle the heck out of my teeth.

Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm sorry if it was hard to understand. I noticed that I kinda rambled a little. Sorry, I had like 3 people talking to me when I typed it.
