I've heard the same about the muffler delete giving lots of drone, especially if I delete the resonators. I'm seeing mixed opinions on the AWE though, some say it's really only rowdy on cold starts or hard acceleration, but regular city driving and cruising are more tame with a nice rumble. What's your opinion? Which Flowmaster? Do you have a video?

Cool, thanks! I'll let you know if I can make it out that way. Really appreciate the offer, but Casa Grande is a little far for me. I'm out in Surprise.

That would be awesome, thanks! Where in Phoenix are you located? Feel free to PM me. Do you know what his whole setup is? (Cat-back system, which muffler, resonators, tips) Yeah I like the sound of the Borla too. I'm still not sure how loud it is exactly. I also wish the Borla had 4" tips instead of 3.5"

Hey everyone, I've got a 2025 Silverado 1500 5.3L and I'm looking to upgrade the stock exhaust. I've gone down the YouTube rabbit hole listening to a bunch of different setups, but it's just hard to judge how loud they really are without hearing them in person. Right now, I'm considering: AWE 0FG** (this one is my top pick so far—love the tone, just worried it might be a bit too loud) Borla S-Type Flowmaster American Thunder (not sure if it's actually much louder than stock—also worried about drone) Rough Country (seems like a budget copy of the Flowmaster?) If anyone in Arizona (I'm in Surprise, but willing to drive a bit) has one of these setups, would you be cool with me meeting up real quick just to hear it in person? Would really help me make the right choice before dropping the cash. Appreciate any help!
