I don't work offshore anymore so I don't make the money I used to anymore. I have to do the cheaper things for now lol.

I did the muffler delete and it sounds great.

I would say it's between obnoxious and mild. I definitely hear it in the cab, but not so much I have to crank the stereo to not hear it. The nice thing is that it is not a huge expense to do and undo if necessary.

It sounds just as good as any catback system I have ever had in any of my other trucks.

I wouldn't mind having the muffler cut off and having a descent looking tip out the tide in front of the right rear tire.

I have the same truck. I have a 93 octane performance tune from MPT. I am very happy with the results. I put an Airaid CAI on. I don't really know how much performance it adds but it looks cool under the hood and sounds good sucking air when I stomp it.

Your truck was equipped with a CAI from the factory so the Airaid did pretty much nothing...in addition to the sucking air sound it sucked $$ from your wallet.

What vendors make a muffler delete for 11-14 5.0s?

I'm about to pull the Stainless Works "mufflers" off my truck for some chambered ones. They will be for sale

You must have had some low quality ones then. There's no way removing the muffler sounds the same as any quality catback. Better than stock, maybe.
