exactly, because anyways if i place it before the muffler its not going to be long enough of a resonator tube to kill the drone, I have drone even at idle, so it needs a very long resonator tube, after the muffler should do just that.

Ill goto the exhaust shop, have them raise the truck, and try to block the pipe temporarily to see what happens, it should not only reduce the drone but also the exhaust note as well, but it will still sound SICK when I go WOT.

Take tubes outside the frame rails, either sides or back. Clearing the body is ideal. It'll solve everything.

I'm betting that your dumps are a big part of your drone problem. Kind of amplifies the sound off the ground and your truck like a big drum or something along those lines. Tails out the back would help. Muffler choice could be part of it as well. To be honest, you might consider some resonators if you don't mind quieting down the exhaust note a little. Ck out my thread on this subject and good luck:
