Default Dumped or not

I wanna add some performance sound to my 5.3. I had a SI/SO 14" Cherry Bomb Vortex and then a SI/SO 18" Magnaflow in place of my oem muffler on my oem exhaust. I had some drone and went back to oem. Now i wanna bring back some noise again. Thinkin of a 22" Magnaflow.

There seems to be a large following of those that like the exhaust dumped. I'm curious to maybe try this and then later if i don't like it extend it to some tips. What's yall's thoughts? Pics also would be great.

i've heard/read that some say it does and some say it doesn't. wish there wasn't so much indifference. I know Corsa don't have much drone, but pricey.

mine's a 3" in/dual 2.5" out mellowtone muffler. somewhere around 14" or so (truck's been at the shop for a month, so i can't go measure). no tail pipes, no turn-downs... just straight out of the muffler & it sounds great. not obnoxiously loud, but definitely noticeable.

I hear borla is nice as well, may want to look into Dynomax thrush welded muffler as well they sound pretty good and cant beat the price around 80$ all polished stainless. can get them for like 50$ just plain steel.

dual Spintech Pro-Streets here with stainless steel tips exiting in front of passenger rear tire. Looks and sounds badass. I love it.
