Default exhaust ideas?

I was thinking of some new muffler setup's. Maybe remove the spare tire and put in an f-body muffler, single in dual out with some big tips at a 45* angle or true duals with 1 chamber flows after the axle. Any other ideas??

I will most likely go back to the track and try the muffler i have now with bypass closed and open before i make my mind up. I just never seem to be satisfied with a muffler, lol.

haha, yeah the same for me. 1st setup a month after I had the truck I did a Dynomax bullet with a turn down.. too dam quiet despite my dad said it should be loud as hell haha. Well went with a flowmaster since dad still wanted a muffler on it.. straight out of the flow and its still 2 quiet. So I said **** it again, cheap and loud way I just slipped it off and called it finished haha. Im quite partial to noise so I think if I ever did end up making it a full system it would definately be straight pipe. Just me tho haha

hey circusboy, tips are for queers, hahaha.
jk man, I just don't like tips. All of my exhaust setups have been dumped. In your case it'll be a little louder in the cab since you're so damn low, but I think a dumped magnaflow would sound nice. That or just chomp the bit and get a corsa sport

It looks to me that the borla and the magnaflow are very close in design. Do they sound alike? I have a borla XR-1, but have not tried a magnaflow.
