Default Exhaust system ****** in here...

I know there's some of you guys who change exhaust probably more often than your drawers..... So.... I'm looking to put something together for my Reg cab setup. I'll be putting the motor in with a set of Pacesetters just to get it running and changing to TSP 1-7/8 headers later on. The new setup will definitely require a dual 3" system but I want this thing like super crazy stealth ninja quiet I want to be able to idle thru a parking lot without little kids holding their ears and scaring old people (as fun as that stuff is, I'm not 17 anymore lol)

I want a nice tone, as little drone as possible and as much flow as possible, all with as few db's as I can make. I'll be running full exhaust at the track too.

First thought was to put 2 or 3 magnaflows on each bank and bring the exhaust right past the axle, but I think what I want can be done without 6 mufflers lol. Maybe bullets at the collectors, then into a 30" magnaflow and a 14"er behind the axle on each side?

Let me know what you've got put together, how it sounds, clips if possible, pics of how it's routed would help too. Lemme know... Thanks

If you ran those on each bank it would be quiet.

They are 5x18 round and 5x8x18 oval magnaflow.

I run LPP headers into dual 3" pipes with a custom X crossover, and into a Magnaflow 12599 then custom pipes out the back. My truck won't pass as a stock truck, you know there is something done to it. When I get into the gas, you really know something has been done to it. I can drive home at 3am, and not wake the neighbors with it either.

I think the 3" true dual and a 22" case magnaflow on each bank, dumped over the axle would be kust about whisper quiet at part throttle and idle

Also run the pipes all the way out to the back bumper. When i remove my tailpiPe and dump it, it gets twice as loud and annoying

Yeah, I plan to either dump them tucked up behind the bumper, or at each corner so they're barely visible.... Yes Corey, I like how your system exits so I'm going to copy it hell, I'll even let you build it for me just cause I'm a nice guy

Right, I understand there's a certain amount of sound that will be made, I know it won't be silent. I'm shooting for a hair louder than stock just with a nice rumble at idle and tone on the hwy.
