Default Exhaust picture/info requests

I'm looking for anyone that has cut off their muffler and relocated in behind the resonator. I'm considering getting a magnaflow muffler and welding it in before the rear axle, just looking for anyone's personal opinions on looks and sounds of a system like this. Thanks in advance.

I have the mbrp offroad exhaust and I love it. It also dips down before the axle for great clearance and I love the sound. It isn't one of those sounds where people think you just put th loudest one you could find, but it does have a deep throaty rumble. I would recommend it to anyone.

A lot of guys are KEEPING the stock resonator and using an aftermarket muffler 2.5" I/O in front of the rear axle A lot of guys use our Ultra Flo Welded Round P/N 17263. It is 20" overall length.

I too have this same exhaust. I liked it as well until recently when I added Gibson headers and it is now over the top loud. I am searching for a replacement muffler that is more reasonable and does not wake up the neighbors baby when I leave home in the AM. Been considering magnaflow mufflers but it is a total crap shoot since I have no idea how to check sound dBA prior to purchase and install.
