The first time I saw that setup, I sorta regretted what I did, but I'm gonna live with it. Man, I can see that with some nice rolled slash cuts in black chrome. Crap, I'm probably gonna go to bed thinking about it!

I've had this same thought once or twice since I saw someone post a pic of the 2019 bumper but like Firerunner said our 2.7's won't quite have that 5.0 growl. I still may do it down the road, although mainly cosmetic Cost?
Mike, do you have a rear exit dual set up already? I've checked out some aftermarket dual set ups and the one thing I dislike about them is how the drivers side pipe is routed in front of the rear differential. Very ugly in my opinion.

There was another member here, IIRC, that did this. Looked fantastic. I don't how Mike plans it, but no doubt, it'll be quality all the way. I've got my own thoughts on the Egoboost aftermarket sound, not the "best", but I can see how to do this, with OEM parts, and just change out the mufflers/resonators for the 5.0, and just use, or modify if needed the OEM system as it comes on the '19.
Interested on hearing how Mike does it, and I really hope he does.
Dean, I know what you mean about that crossover. That's the way my Borla is, and yep, it could look better. And with the rear lowered like mine, it just looks worse. Black paint helps, but,,,,,. I've thought of heading to a shop that just did some work on my other truck, and see if he couldn't raise that pipe up about 6".
On the OEM '19, it doesn't look like that crossover is an eyesore like mine. Plus, that's a 3.5. I think the 5.0, 2.7, and 3.5 all use the same system, and if so, it should work as OEM.

Yes...I currently have dual outlet behind each wheel.

Likely not be too difficult to have a shop revamp that, save some bucks on modding an OEM system. Don't even have to look to see the frightening price of the OEM.
