another exhaust question

[xero2099]

I was checking out some places to get my exhaust done and the option for cutting out the existing muffler and replacing it with a a different one has has come up a few times I had one place put my trac on a life and it is still pretty clean and i only have 5800 miles so that was what i was expecting one place also said i could provide the muffler and they would install it as well. Both places also gave me the option for cat back as well. what in the inlet/outlet config for an 08 v6 xlt? and which way should i go cut or cat back?

i got single in and dual out 40 series on my 01 sport and it sounds perfect. Previous owners of my sport had the 70 series and it sounded to quiet for me.
