Id like to do that one day to keep it quiet as stock, but still have the "Nasty Switch"

Did you happen to do a before and after with the magnaflow? I hope the muffler doesn't add any spool time.

I've got the same spec turbo on my 5.3L front mounted and spooling it and getting into boost hasn't been a problem with this converter...

Do you have a turn down? The pic looks like the exhaust is hitting the reareand, and the rear of the truck.? That could cause some noice in side the cab, maybe.

At 6psi it will blow the tires off from a 30mph roll when it downshift to 1st and on 10psi it will spin in second from a 50mph roll. The only complaint so far is that it is way too loud without the cats so I going to put a magnaflow bullet style muffler before the turbo to take away the rasp.

Try the muffler as far back as possible, any noice under a truck will find its way into the cab.
