Default want a mild to wild exhaust for my cammed 5.3?

my current setup is
5.3 with obx 1.75 to 2.5 i want to change the collector to 3 will that help the performance or sound reduction?

the y pipe is 2.5 into 3 wich is a 4 pice that always gets losen by time or road bumb or offroad trips

the mufller is the magnaflow round 30" case single 3 dual 2.5 and tail paipes are 3" with 4" tips

what i want now is somthing less noisy with no drone

i heard alot of good things about the xr-1 but still couldent decide

what i have in mind is

change the header collector to 3" and custom the y pipe as a 3.5 or 4"(for posible FI in the future)

then add a 3.5 or 4" borla xr-1 with a bullet in front of it to act like a resonator

is that a good setup?

how about a tru dual with aeroturbines (the diesel muffler)

all i want is a quite warm up with good exhaust note like the xr-1 and no highway drone and good sounding WOT


single exhaust is preferd


edit : the truck is cammed and it got louder than befor

I got tired of drone and got a SI/SO Dynomax VT, it does exactly what it says, really quiet at idle/part throttle/cruise and sounds good after that. It has a valve inside. It's quiet though, wish it was louder but I have an otherwise stock system...yours might have better results. ZERO drone is worth a little quieter note to me though.
