I've looked through the exhaust clip sticky and I have a couple of questions dude bros. I've got a Dynomax Bullet dumped under my truck after the axle but I think I'm wanting something quieter when I'm crusing on the freeway, i know there are a lot of different opinions but I would appreciate some insight.
 
First, add some info on your truck, motor, year, stock or not.
The longer the muffler; the quieter it gets, also a chambered muffler will quiet the note down a bit (but may drone). IMO from there it really just depends on on your personal taste and budget, different brands have different sounds and average prices. Ive had a corsa on a stock 5.3 with manifolds and enjoyed it, and have a magnaflow 22in with headers and I also like it - neither are obnoxious or loud when cruising. Just gotta keep lookin around.

Sorry about that its a 2005 Silverado CC 5.3. Its got 3inch pipe ran into a Dynomax Bullet dumped over the axle. Ive also got a K&N CAI. Stock manifolds, cats, and y-pipe.

I'm looking for something like a Corsa Sport without the Corsa price lol. I mainly want something that is going to be fairly quiet at cruising and give me no drone at freeway speeds, just a lot tamer overall.

I love the sound of the Bullet it's just too loud for me. It seems like a lot of guys run a magnaflow but which one?

I'm going to look into some sound clips with that muffler, do you have any experience with it yourself?

Fogle has it on his 2005 Yukon...me and strokerace both swore that it was a Corsa Sport based off how it sounded...might have been a little louder interior wise than a Corsa but not much...PM him if you want his input...I loved how it sounded and if they made a dual in single out I would have one on my Denali right now

I ended up doing some trading and swaping and got a Corsa Sport sitting in my garage to put on it

I was going to until I got a deal on a Corsa Sport...now I have to do a ypipe to put it on my Denali...I have everything in my garage, just have to find an exhaust shop to do the work (since the one i have used for years sold their business a month ago)

You wouldn't happen to want to sell that Corsa would you lol. Is there anyway to buy just the muffler brand new from C
 
throw my two cents in:

I went with dual Borla Pro Xs muffler off a true dual and LTs. It's a quieter sound, as you can tell on this clip (which i feel is close to what the truck sounds like)...but it has a fantastic sound when you get on it!

5.3 Avalanche Borla ProXS Exhaust - YouTube

at first i wasn't sure i liked it cuz i've always had loud exhuast...but it grew on me quickly

Maybe it's just my iPhone or something because to me that sounds very close to the way my bullet sounds. I really like to hear in cab videos and those seem to be harder to come by.

I have actually thought about selling it and just not putting exhaust on the Denali at all...I will make a choice the week of July 4th (I have time off to get it installed) and I will let you know. I don't think you can buy the muffler from them alone
 
I have a flowmaster super 44 series muffler thats dumped under the truck past the axle. Doesn't drone too bad and still sounds good

however, ive been looking at the hooker aerochamber muffler and really like how it sounds

here's a sound clip of my flowmaster


the clip was taken right after i dumped the exaust without tips. it was a dual exhaust before and i just cut the pipes back to the axle. i put a 3" tip on each pipe and it made it a little bit deeper
