Best DIDO Muffler?

I'm looking to swap out my dido dynomax ultraflow X muffler for one with less cab drone. This thing is terrible b/t 1700-2000rpm. I want it to sound good outside but be resonable in the cab.
Thanks

I went to the magnaflow website and found that the 12568 satin finish SS would fit right in. Is this the series of muffler your talking about(straight through fiberglass packed)
Is there an aluminized version that would be cheaper or are they all SS?

Thanks

Is Cab drone minimal with magnaflow?

the muffler loudness is determined by the length of that muffler.
short = loud
long = quiet


DIDO #11379 - 11" Body
DIDO #12468 - 18" Body
DIDO #11386 - 20" Body
DIDO #12568 - 22" Body




here is the kit I have on my truck. It is a SIDO with a 18" body muffler. Sounds pretty damn good if I say so myself...and absolutely ZERO drone.

You can hear it when you are on the throttle, but at 70 mph, it's pretty much barely noticeable. I can drive at that speed with the radio on 2 bars of volume and be completely comfortable.

here are a couple of vid clips of my truck...windows down. You have to account for the CAI that was installed also. Magnaflow SIDO #16614 with a 1st gen Volant CAI.

0-45 mph city driving
20-80 mph floored
Really stupid brakestand
Start-up noises


hope this helps some. hard to get across how they sound over the net isn't it?
