Lemme see what I can find bud , I am currently re-doing the exhaust from y-pipe back with all stainless pipe and TIG welding it for a cleaner appearance , but I'm still using the large magnaflow , but I added a cutout for louder idle if I need it .

Best clip I have ....

Can you send me a link or part number for your muffler so I can check it out?

I have a 2003 silverado LS with a specter CAI and a flowmaster 10 series dumped behind the axle, it's black with tan leather interior and I should be putting on my new oem wood and leather wrapped steering wheel.
I've got pretty much the same thing except i'm running a dynomax bullet with a turndown, i love the way it sounds. But i know that i won't be keeping it this way for long, just wanted some sound for now until headers go on, and cats come off. Bullets with no cats are LOUD, so i bought an 18" case DI DO magnaflow with built in x pipe to go on then. I ran one back in 06 and was prob my favorite setup that i had ran. I had an x-pipe with flowmasters, x-pipe with aerochambers (sounded amazing as well, but ran it for a while and just wanted something different) and then put on the 18" magnaflow and loved it. I just installed one on my brother-in-laws 97 chevy without cats with turndowns, has a very nice idle, pretty much 0 drone at hwy but screams at WOT.
But it really depends on your plans with the truck and how loud you want it but you really can't go wrong with magnaflow or aerochambers

I love the dyno max straight throughs. Nothing chambered will sound good.

what do you mean by full exhaust? do you have headers? do you have cats? pipe diameter? y or x pipe? single or dual in/out muffler?

i got a magnaflow 22 with single 3.5 in/out also but with 1 7/8 headers, no cats, dual 3 inch pipes into flowmaster y merge 3.5 out to mag 22 its not as quiet as most would think.

like timz said above there are alot of factors to consider when it comes to overall sound and its not just about the above but also if you have tailpipe and tailpipe design.

I'm running this muffler, with some cheap VHT flameproof paint for protection.

eBay-Jones Max Flow SS

I used to be all Magnaflow all-the-way, but I've these max flow mufflers on 2 vehicles now (the other is 2.0" SI/SO for the car in my sig). They are more aggressive in dB level, but great for our trucks IMHO.
