General rule of thumb, how does a resonator change the sound vs a muffler? What bugs me most is the exhaust is now so raspy/metallic it sounds like a old beat up pickup with rusted out exhaust. I wish I had the deeper cleaner tone back if that's possible.
My exhaust is 3.5" before the muffler so that may eliminate some options too

I have dual 3 inch and have a magnaflow 6 inch round x 20 muffler up front, worked out great. My trucks only a little louder than stock. These mufflers are a straight thru style too, all the rasp is gone.

Ugh, looks like needing 3.5" eliminates lots of choices. So far I've found borla xr-1 round, and magnaflow race mufflers.

Vibrant doesn't make the ultra quiet in 3.5, but the make a 3.5 Street power muffer, anyone have experience with those?

If my goal is to turn the volume down several notches and take away that metallic rasp, will the straight through muffler so that, or do I need a resonator in combination?

I'm dying to hear how his setup sounds. He's put a shitton of work and it looks great I'm just hoping it sounds gore at to match.
What are the specs on your truck? Mods and power adders?

Stainless works 1 3/4 headers to a pair of fake cats (visual inspection ) then a jones 3 inch stainless x pipe, next a set of 6 inch round x 20 magnaflows and finally to tone it totally quiet 5x11x22 mufflers and tail pipes out the corners . It's stock sounding and almost too quiet.
I tried to quiet it down a few ways before adding the round mufflers. I had where the 6 inch round mufflers a set of 4 inch round and it was raspy real bad. I tried a flopro big oval and it was quiet but horrible and then a pair of big dynomax mufflers. They made it quieter but not what I wanted. Although i might try those dynomax mufflers and see how they sound now with the round mufflers.
The key is mufflers or resonators up front before the bigger muffler.
