Exhaust seems like a damn guessing game. Its frustrating sometimes, you spend lots of money and dont get the end result you want.
I wish every exhaust shop had a few diff. mufflers you could try out before you settled on one. sure would save us a lot of time/ money.
Kudos to you for posting, ive been there a few times too.

A few years ago when I removed the tail pipes and dumped it before the axle I got the loud rumble that I was looking for. Eventually what's left of the exhaust will be getting removed in lieu of dual 14" long 2.5 in/out round Magnaflows

I just did my exhaust too. True 3" duals no cats. X pipe two borla straight throughs and it is way too loud. My fault for underestimating the flow of the pipe but i gotta get chambered mufflers also.

if it makes you feel any better, i just added tail pipes to mine after 3.5 years of running straight off the muffler (chambered MellowTone 3" in, dual 2.5" out). i don't know if i like it yet or not. it sounds fine from behind, but i can barely hear it in-cab & have stalled it twice now when backing up. it sounds fine at WOT, but just cruising, it's so quiet i don't know what to do - i ain't got the bed rumbling in my ear no more

quiet is better then too loud... i had a flowmaster 3 chamber and put on lt headers took off cats and thought i wanted more sound so changed it to a supper 44 flowmaster all on 3 inch piping... well guess what.. now the dam truck is louder then ever...in the mrng when cold it makes my windows shake inside my house.. when on the street im too scared to take off in a green light cuz its just loud.. i think its too loud others ask me what i did cuz they love it... for once i would like to have it quiet..lol but goodluck im sure ull get use to the quiet sound.. consider ur truck a sleeper.. not loud and on a turbo.. nice!!!
