SI/SO cat-back what do you think?

After months of reading and listening to youtube videos, I have my mind pretty well set on an 11" Magnaflow #11366 muffler and mandrel bent tailpipe with a stainless slash cut non rolled tip. I don't want to buy a kit because for the cost of one, I could get true duals. I love true duals but I do not want the extra sound at the expense of my low end torque.

I've decided to go with this setup because with the small muffler, I can still acheive a nice deep aggressive tone. What do you all think? yay or nay?

That setup will most likely sound good. I think it will be a deep mellow soft rumble. Is that what your going for?

Yea I'm looking for a clean cut rumble. Enough so it sounds like it's got a pair but not like in your face scare old ladies loud. Hence why I chose the 11" Magnaflow.

I'll reset the computer via disconnecting the battery when the engine is cold. Probably not necessary but for good measure.

Just South of Norwalk. 20 mins or so from the Summit Raceway Park.

Your grill is freaking nice!! that's exactly what I want for my truck. That the roush grill or something else?

I'm skeptacle about getting a tuner. Don't want to mess anything up on the truck and fear it won't run right etc...

Yea that's the grill I want.

farthest from the the truth,true duals done right in 2.25" and x pipe and correct mufflers increase bottom end tq not kill it,most duals done are done in 2.5", no x pipe ,and flowmasters,it's bad on a 5.4 but horrible on a 4.6,when done right ,true duals increase bottom end
