Default My exhaust and AFM experience

I've been wanting to put a louder exhaust on the truck, but Ive been scared of how the AFM would sound (I want to keep AFM). I decided to give it a shot, went with a 3in/3in magnaflow 5 x 11 x 22. Had a 3" tailpipe made to exit out the side location like on the 5.3 trucks, so no more resonator. It sounds great. Deep mellow sound. There is no difference in tone or resonance inside the truck when it goes into 4cyl. Sounds great. Just wanted to share.

Really,I notice quite an annoying difference,but maybe its because its the smallest oval muffler they make,or maybe cause its dumped.I have noticed some sound different and some don't...is it center in/center out?

Its center in offset out.

I had dod kick in at about 1200 rpm as I was cruising last night and you do notice it then. But usually I only see dod between 1500 and 2000 rpm and its not noticeable there.
