    Size matters. The 18" is pretty muted if you still have stock cats.
    14" if you do have stock cats, 18" if you don't have cats at all.

    Part of me wants to get an 18.

    Most of me likes it quiet when driving.

    Plus it'd only be a "cool" factor for me so priority on that is way down the line.

    Look up aero turbine 2525, compare it with magnaflows. I think those 2 sound the best

    I like it, but I couldn't justify the $500. I just bought a universal with an offset inlet and dumped right after the muffler. Less than $90 for the muffler and $15 for a 2.5" tube that I sleeved over the factory exhaust where I cut, and $20 for the turndown (just used a mandrel bent 90 elbow.

    Amazon was running some sort of performance car parts promotion over the holidays and certain items were 25% off. I picked up the Magnaflow cat-back kit for about $380. No idea if the promotion is still running.

    Gutted cats and headers are going to be on the raspy side no matter what you end up with unless you add a resonator. The magnaflow doesn't have the mind numbing drone that the Flowmaster has though.

    Ahh I figured it was because of the muffler being cut and the back with no pipe coming out.

    Strait pipe off the back of the muffler probably adds additional drone/echo and sound from bouncing around the underside of the bed. A turndown may help, but with gutted cats you're going to get all the engine noise with no filter.

    Smokin with a smarty.

    Try an aero turbine. I have headers straight to an aero turbine under the cab and it's not raspy. It's loud as shit but sounds low and rumbly.

    I'll probably get the catback system some day. Has it's own unique sound.

    I only spent $80 on my 14 and getting it welded with a turn down, but just a little too much noise for me some days.

    I want the cat back as well but I have to buy tires first. I drive on the highway to college a lot and the roaring drone gets old I think I'm gonna try a magnaflow and dump it after the axle
