Loved my Magnaflow, but man I hated the drone. You going to keep the resonator on, that might help.

i got rid of the rear resonator and it really doesnt make a difference. Here is a pic of the oem rear resonator. Its a solid pipe in there with a little hole. also my wifes tbss has long tubes/no cats and magnaflow muffler with resonator in rear and no problem with the sound.

I have no resonator on the truck and the sound is perfect. Its deep with no drone at all and not crazy loud with headers i think will be perfect. Truck does pick up nicely now and still 3.5 inches from cat back.

And just a quick look at the stock muffler as you can see very restrictive.
