exhaust again
OK , I know this one is a dead horse but, exhaust options for 5.0 trucks. I was thinking remove the resonator and stock muffler and maybe a dual out muffler but which one? I don't want rattle but don't mind a good rumble.

You can do what you mentioned, but you are very likely to have some annoying drone.
I've had systems from Borla and Corsa, currently running a Corsa Sport system on my '18 5.0 and it has zero drone period. Also enjoyed the S-Type on my last 5.0 which also sounded great and had minimal drone.

I was looking at the single MRBP system and the sound clips I heard may be what I can live with. I'm wondering if a local custom system may be a disappointment. I heard a Flowmaster Outlaw system the other day that is too loud for me.

That's interesting. It looks like the same system. It has a muffler and resonator so it's a little surprising to get the drone. 2k isn't a good spot for an annoying drone. I may just talk to my local muffler guy and see what he's done to other trucks.

My original plan for this truck to save some cost was to install a Borla 400500 muffler in place of the stock one and leave the resonator in place. Some have also used the Borla XR-1 40085 which is a bit louder and both "claim" to be drone free. I put that in quotes because I haven't heard either setup first-hand.
Here's a Borla 400500 with an xr1 acting as a resonator:
If you go to that users page he has some other videos of the setup as well.
Wife ended up surprising me with the Corsa sport for father's day which is the reason it's on my truck. Thrilled with it but not a budget friendly system. My write up on that system and sound clip here.
Not sure if any of this helps. Don't want you to end up with something that drones and you're unhappy with.

I haven't heard the setup personally so take with a grain of salt.
