What would you say is the quietest or mellow-est exhaust you have tested (as far as in-cab sound)?
I see you guys sell the Borla Touring, but I don't see a test video for it? That's supposedly one of the mellow-est exhausts out there and I think it might be for me. I'm just looking for a little rumble and want to know what my options are. Thanks!

Well the diamond eye installed drove 2 days with it now. Love the sound around town, can hear it when you get on it and it's barely noticeable when you are just cruising. But at 65-75 on the highway it has the same annoying drone that every other exhaust has. It's not terrible but it's more than I like. I'm going to leave it on for now and hope it grows on me. If I can't get over the drone, I will look at either getting another resonator to put on or put the stock exhaust back on. On that note though does anyone know of an after market 3 1/2" resonator??

I have the Flowmaster American Thunder and it has WAY WAY WAY too much drone on highway. I am planning on purchasing the SOLO performance X this week after hearing from others about their satisfaction with it. Apparently the J pipes do a lot on reducing drone

Paint it black
Same here...
And yes, according to their installation manual it clears 18" spare:

Also I have 20s, so we will see. I don't think that the 18s are much bigger than 20s as far as overall size is considered. Not sure what the aspect ratio is on the 18s.

Even if you have 20's your spare is an 18"

[MENTION=142781]Stage3Motorsports[/MENTION], looks like you guys tested this one. Is it the mellowest one so far in-cab or is there another that beats it? Thanks.

Installed my Diamond Eye 3.5" on my 2011 5.0. This is my first V8 and first aftermarket exhaust so can't compare it to anything. Love the sound, the volume is slightly louder than hoped for. But there is a strong drone inside around 1800 rpm. Unfortunately living in the city I'm at that rpm a LOT. And I go on long trips. Gonna leave it on for a while and see how it is on my road trip this summer.
