Having a custom exhaust made.

Having a custom exhaust made.
Wanted to get everyones opinions on the subject. I was told a few things that I wasnt quite sure of by a shop that did the exhaust on my neighbors new Challenger.
They want leave the factory Y pipe and run 2.5" back from there. Then use a magnaflow muffler and re-use my tips. They are only charging me $300 for everything.
He said that making a new Y-Pipe would cause me to lose power.
He also said that running 2 separate pipes would sound bad.. But I mentioned the HKS high power system and he said what he plans on doing will be deeper sounding.
When it comes to exhausts and custom making them.. Im not really sure whats best. What does everyone else think and what would you do differently. Im looking for something very loud. I want there to be no doubt that I have exhaust when I get into the RPMs.
Thanks in advance everyone
**EDIT: Keep in mind I already have headers installed!

Not necessarilly true. An N/A car requires a certain amount of backpressure in order to yield an efficient gain ratio between torque and hp. Sound ofcourse is going to be determined by airflow as well...and too much could easily turn into a raspy, higher frequency pitch. I think muffler design is going to have the most signifigant effect on that in this application though. Either way, the subject could be highly debateable on just what's the "best".

No the cats are separate. They bolt directly to the y pipe. The hks clone bolts to the hfc or stock cat converters; whichever u have. Hfc just take place of stock cats. Nothing fancy lol
