From True Dual Flowmaster to Magnaflow
Just an update. Thanks for all of yalls help. I ended up with the 2-18" Magnaflows and it sounds perfect. Even with my LT's and cats, the sound is very minimal at freeway which is what I wanted. The best part about the swap was that I feel like I gained alot of lost hp and tq. I never thought the power would feel this different going from a flow to a mag.
Magnaflow swap for Borla
From reading this I'm thinking that I should take my magnaflow 5x8x18 off and put in the borla 4x9x18 in its place. The magnaflow does the climb in pitch towards higher rpms which annoys me and give more drone in cab. I found that muffler for 98bucks on summit. Currently, all I have done with airflow is the gotts mod and the 16463 magnaflow cat back. I should have done a custom bent system with the right muffler, but the magnaflow was cheap and I thought I could do it right. Fitment isn't great, and the muffler is to forward in the cab. anybody think this setup would work?
^ Yes. I bet it does exactly what you want. Watch my videos and Darren's magnaflow videos and hear the high rpm sound difference. We both have 2.5" duals with an X pipe. Borla has the same deep growl all the up the rpm range. I love it!
. I like how the borla's never loose their tone.
Im not sure why my truck would be any different, but my 2 new magnaflows are very smooth throughout all of the RPM ranges. It may have to do with the X and the fact that both of my mufflers are completely behind the cab. I know that the bodies are longer too. Darren do you have headers on your truck?

That is precisely why. True duals with short oval mufflers will rasp. Especially since I had 25,000 miles burned through them.
Muffler mounting doesn't effect sound, my mufflers too were right near the axle, with 4" of space between them. All it is is drone deadening.
