Default Exhaust set up help

I am currently doing a 6.0 swap and now that I am getting towards the end I need to figure out my exhaust. I know that I will be running long tubes (either tsp or cal speed, both out of stock right now) and true 3" duals. After that its going to run down and be dumped after the axel. Might throw in some cut outs as well. But my main question is what mufflers should I run? I want my truck to sound good, not just loud. I was thinking borla, magnaflow or something that will sound good with a cammed 6.0. Any ideas?

My magnaflow sounds great with the came nice and throaty. Not to loud either. Unless you pushing alot of power you really don't need to go 3" all the way back. 2.5 is plenty big. Just my 2pennies

Yeah the only reason why I thought about 3" was because the headers have 3" collectors. What length magnaflow are you running? Right now its basically between those two brands unless I can find something unique.
