How Does My Exhaust Sound?????

I want to know what you guys think about my exhaust? Be honest, tell me what you like or don't like and what i could do to get it a little deeper with more rumble. I would like to keep it on the "cheaper" Side. Right now i have a One CHamber SI/DO with 3.5 inch stainless tips. Not that it matters but on the inlet side of the 1 chamber i have a 3 inch adapter then on the outlet it is 2.5 inch all the way. When i got the truck it had Factory Exhaust and i changed it with a 18 inch SI/DO glasspack with 4 inch tips. After about 6 month i changed it to a Flowmaster 44. After another 6 month i ordered the one chamber and put on the 3.5 inch stainless tips. So i would like this to be the last change for a while. Here are the videos i just made tell me what you think.

Not too bad sounding. It could be deeper toned imo, and the wave pop on the revs isn't desirable in my tastes, but it sounds decently toned.

If your going to change it, I would say put a 12" Bullet inplace and Y pipe the tails, or a Magnapack for a little more clarity, and swap the rear cats for hi-flows at some point, or all 4 for 2 hi-flows if possible. With the Magnapack it will sound great.

Darren beat me too it. I can't stress enough how good hi-flows sound. It's funny actually because my neighbor has an 08-09 5.7 Tunra with a gibson system on his. My 14" si/do with 94106's actually has a similar sound to his but louder by a bit. Those trucks are pretty loud with just a simple si/do on them I would say hi-flows and a magnapack OR super 44 that you have.

^ A little deeper, and a better tone all together in my opinion.

I think it sounds pretty good KRC. I am currently running a si/do series 40. Thinking really hard about the 14" magnapack, or a di/do maggie with a x pipe! Not to stray from your post, but have you had any problems with that Spectre. Just installed one and noticed that the filter seems to be rubbing a little on the hood liner.

I like the spectre but i have the same problem with it rubbing on the hood liner. Tried to get it to go down some but what ever i do it stays the same height.
