Default Help me choose a 3.5" in and out muffler

Please....

I am expanding my Y-pipe back to 3.5" for the new found power. I need options/advise of what muffler to get. 3.5" mufflers are kinda scarse compaired to a 3" muffler. I have been running big magnaflow mufflers for a long time, but I think I want a little more noise. I had a 5x11 case 22" long that sounded good, and meow I have a 5x8 case 30" long both 3". i want center in and out. I have been looking at aeroturbine, borla, spintech, and magnaflow. My current sound is quiet, but not stock. I think I want it aggressive, and I have a cutout for racing, so big case mufflers were what i was stuck on. I have aem 1 3/4" long tubes with 3" ORY into single 3"(about to be 3.5"), cutout, muffler and turned out in front of the right rear tire, but just under the bed.

thanks

Were are you getting 3.5'' tubing bent? I did the same thing but when to 4" and used a flowmaster 44, 3.5" and for a big block the biggest one I could find. It will go all the way up to I thank it was 5" I just open it up and weld in a new flange. Bought the complete tubing set for the same truck for diesel fit it all together. It cam out real nice. And sound great round town. But it had a droning in side the cab on the HWY. So I add another 4" race muffler just past the Y-pipe and cut that droning nose out and I thank it made run better too.
