I have used the Flowmaster 70 series mufflers before in other cars, no drone, but not sure one is made for a truck with dual exits. Because of that, when the time comes to do mine, I may just go with Magnaflow. No drone for this old man, though I would like the exits to be behind each tire.

I have a single in dual out 70 series Flowmaster , they do make them or atleast they did 10+ years ago when this one was put on. It has a nice quite rumble to it, I can’t hear it at all over my tires so I am going to a Carven R or a Super 44 soon just can’t decide which one.

Side note: hood and grille looks great! I’ve been going back and forth about doing the HD grille and hood or just the hood, yours makes me want the HD grille, @Fosscore makes me want the stock grille with HD hood.

I have pics of my truck with both grilles

Post #129 is the HD hood with the stock grille.

Post #133 is HD hood and HD grille.

I love the HD grille look over the stock grille

I emailed Carven about the three mufflers they offer. The R, TR, and the new RPT. This is the info i got on the differences of the models:

"The R series muffler is going to be our loudest and most aggressive style muffler, where as the TR Series muffler is designed in a more traditional manner (tubed baffle wrapped in fiberglass wrapped in exhaust packing) , which ends up giving you lower deeper tones in comparison to the R series muffler styling and design would. The R series muffler will be aggressive at all times, for example; at cruising, idle and acceleration. Our TR series muffler, still substantially different and much louder and deeper than stock, offers a lower, more mellow tone at idle and cruising and produces an aggressive tone under acceleration and when desired. The new RPT muffler is the best of both worlds combined. It is designed to be loud when you want it to be, however is designed to simmer down when up to high way speeds."

The issue I have is I want dual exhaust and Carven only comes Single in/Single out. So i would have to run true duals with 2 mufflers and an X pipe i believe

What I have seen is people use 1 muffler and put a Y after the muffle and run duals out from that. Or like you said do an X or backwards Y off the main pipe before the muffler and then run dual mufflers.

They didn't have the RPT when I did mine. Love the TR. Definitely loud enough to turn heads when you want. Just sits and purrs at warm idle.

You think you could hear the TR over the hum of mud tires?

Hmmm, hard to say. It's pretty tame at cruising.

After reading and listening to clips and being impulsive......I think I'm going to do dual RPT mufflers with the X Pipe. Need to find a good exhaust place around SE Georgia. I'll order the mufflers myself and hope they can configure it like I want. Carven also sells ceramic black 4" tips soooooo probably going with those maybe

I know what you mean, different mud tires are louder than others, windows down, windows up, there is a lot that could make the subjective.
At 55 with the windows cracked it’s hard to talk to each other much less hear exhaust over the tires. My new ones will be a deeper roar but just as loud if not louder. Guess my many complaint is before I lifted it I could hear the 70 series at idle, on start up, and when I got on the gas. After the lift went on its like my exhaust went back to stock. I never hear it anymore and the other day I had my fiancée start it up while I stood maybe 20 feet away and I could barely hear it rumble on start up. I could hear more engine noise than exhaust.

I have been watching these videos over and over. They have a ton of exhaust videos on their channel.
