Have you thought about no muffler and just going straight dual from the CATS? I have the super 40's true dual and just am not happy with it. we are cutting the mufflers out and going straight from the CATs..

Mine is straight piped, horrible. I guess as long as its exiting out the rear it won't be to bad, I have mine out the side in front of the tire and the drone is unbelievable. If you love the people who sit in your back seat I do not recommend it. Sounds great until you have a longer trip to take.

Not so much how loud it is, it's loud but the thing that kills is the cabin drone. When the truck drops into overdrive when your cruising around 60-75 the drone will cancel out everything in the truck. I used to have a pretty nice stereo system in the truck and the drone would over power the subs. And forget about having a conversation with the people in the back without raising your voice quite a bit.
I have 3in pipe from the cats back, turned into 2 4.5in tips out the side. Looks awesome but it will be completely redone to hopefully OEM quite.
Running it to the back will cut down probably most the drone, I will be running mine back to stock position when I re do mine... For the 3rd time.

I ran stock exhaust with no muffler (straight piped) for a while, wasnt bad at all. Now I have a full stainless works exhaust (long tube headers, high flow cats, X-Pipe into chambered mufflers and that was pretty much the same "loudness" as stock straight piped so I straight piped my new full system and it is unbearably loud and sounds terrible. A lot of echo, and it is a high pitched and rattle'y sound, so I have some new round chambered muffler to get me in the happy medium.
I know this might not help much since I have headers (and that makes a exhuast a whole hell of a lot louder), but take from it what you will!
