I have a flow master 40 series dumped at the rear axle. SIDO. Sounds good in the truck and at idle but you can't hardly hear it if your in another car driving nearby. For 118 OTD, I'm more than happy with it. May upgrade to a cat back later on.

And on an other wise stock truck none of those matter. The stock exhaust piping is fine, rather corrosion resistant and flows just fine. You could even polish it if you so choose. The only thing youre gaining is a lighter wallet by going with a catback opposed to buying a muffler and your tip of choice. IMO

The stock exhaust is stainless steel... the problem is when the exhaust shop fabs up an extension pipe to weld in an aftermarket muffler, they are going to use aluminized pipe which will rust after only one winter of salt and snow and probably rot through in a couple of years.

My setup is this...

True dual, factory cats and oxygen sensors are untouched....

2.5 inch

Magnaflow Tru-X X pipe

Dynomax Race Bullet (two of them 18 inch long)

Turn downs at the rear bumper

Sounds great, drone around 1700 RPM which is horrible

LOUD!!!!

That's why I would spend the money on a Borla.To get the warranty and 300 series stainless steel.

Do you have any sound clips or videos? I was looking to do something very similar but I'm not looking for drone I wanna see if I can live with it.

My local shop will do flow masters for $215. Not sure if that's what I want or not but I deff will not be paying $600 for anything.
