I plan leave alone with stock header and cat. Just muffler system since I bought another truck for daily drive. I already have xr1 borla on my 06 Silverado with turbo.

with stock manifolds and converters, a muffler delete doesnt sound horrible, and is about as loud as you can get before longtubes or ORY

You think a glasslack adds backpressure? Your stock manifolds, converters with full pipe out the back is enough of a restriction. You said loud. Im giving the loudest options. Even a bullet behind stock converters and manifolds knocks out a lot of sound.
