What you mean by dual valence...center exit or both sides?

You could go with an inline resonator or even a glasspack... I think... it may be fairly inexpensive to have a local muffler guy take a look and see.

k guys i got my glassback reso on today for super cheap ( 30 bucks, the guys were real nice too ) anyways it being a highflow muffler magnaflow exhuast along with the glassback it now groans and groggles , sounds reallllly bitchen! ( to me )

the problem i had before is when i was at low RPMs like 2k to 3k i would overhwleming roarr, but the glassback now it tames it down to a deep drone. most def not getting pulled over anymore... i will upload a soundclip on youtube and post it along with pics..

(p.s.) palo ubers valence ( which i got cheap to ) sucks big one. the fiberglass construction of it is slopy and u have to modify your exsiting bumper to drill it in.. anyone have suggestions to alternative valences

Shoot some pictures of the exhaust also if you can! I'm considering the either the glasspack/dual muffler setup, or something like an ALTA (I want to do an agranger air horn on the other side! What a great idea.... thanks Aaron!).
