Default Exhaust on a budget recommendations?

I just picked up a great 89 4.3 4x4 S10 blazer - 2 Door. The only thing the truck needs is an exhaust. The muffler has a hole in it - pretty decent size, and I believe the cat is going. The truck has 124K on it..

Anyway, since I plan on owning the truck for many years, I'd rather be pleased with the exhaust instead of just replacing it with stock equipment. Back in my camaro moddin days, one of the cheap and effective exhaust setups was a stock cat, 2 chamber, dual outlet muffler. Anyone have a recommendation for the 4.3 S10 blazer? I'd prefer dual because I've always liked the look of the two pipes, but it's not necessary.
I've been told a 2-chamber muffler on the 4.3s is too loud at a driving RPM. Any feedback?

Thanks!
J

I have the Cherry Bomb Turbo in my truck. Its a nice subtle rumble at low RPM's. It's noticeably there, but not over the top. I've heard good things about the CherryBomb Glasspack too. The Glasspack is 25-35$ and the Turbo is about 45$. It's probably the cheapest and doesn't sound half bad.
The best (although more expensive) for the 4.3's is probably the Flomaster Super 44.
If you prefer the sound of a Glasspack you might also want to look at the Thrush Glasspack. They're another good bargain exhaust.
