I definitely understand what you're saying but I'm very picky (as I'm sure a lot of us are) when it comes to my truck and honestly I haven't heard many sound clips or videos that I like the sound of. The Corsa was about my favorite. I've had magnaflow on about everything I've owned but I find the single rear exit on my 04 5.4 sounded good but could have been a little more aggressive. On my 2 GM vehicles I thought it was perfect. It they both had the 6.2L. I want an aggressive rumble when I get on it but I don't want to listen to a bunch of racket inside the cab that I can't get rid of. The Borla to me sounds crazy loud. Even at idle it sounds like the exhaust system is yelling at me. Are you not a fan of the factory resonator from a sound standpoint or because you feel the 2.5" piping is robbing some power??
I want the 3" piping for flow since I'm supporting 600+ hp.

I got the Borla S-Type exhaust installed and the dual tips adjusted (no small feat, by the way). All is good now and I love the new setup. It is plenty aggressive, but very quiet in the cab, almost like stock until heavy acceleration.

Dyno Numbers
I finally got on the dyno last night. 10 psi, 91 octane (93 is scarce here), and we shut it down at 6600 rpm, even though, I'm sure most of you know that it will keep pulling well above 7000. Also, numbers include a carseat strapped in the back seat. 
532hp / 452ft-lb to the tire.
I'm not sure what the accepted number is for driveline loss on these trucks, but I have seen 20-25%. Regardless it is flirting with 700 hp at the flywheel.
The torque curve comes up near peak around 3500-4000 and stays flat allllll the way through to peak hp.
These videos include my new Borla cat-back, which I am loving. The balance of the exhaust is stock.

I have a '16 5.0 and installed my s-type recently, and I must say I love it. It's quiet when cruising but when you get on it, it really comes to life. That's a nice ride you got there! I want want to install a procharger pretty bad, but not sure how my wife would react to me dropping $6300 and then another 500-700 on a tune. Anyway, looking good!
