I'm nearing 36K miles on the truck, so decided it was time for a little more 'tone' in the exhaust. Pickings are slim for us 5.7 HD guys, so I went to a local shop and talked over some options, then decided on an X-pipe, dual Magnaflows and tailpipes exiting out the side in front of the passenger side rear wheel.
Here's how it turned out:
I'm super-happy with the end result. There's a little bit of drone at idle that goes away almost immediately. At road speeds just cruising along, they're about as quiet as the stock muffler unless I'm next to a barrier or wall - no drone at all. Tip in some throttle, and they have a really nice growl.
I bought some high-temp black paint, but might actually leave them bare as I kind of like them standing out a bit (they'll of course discolor over time).
At any rate, hope this helps other 5.7 folks with one possible option for your trucks.
