exhaust system question

[Lpfm1990]

I know this has problem been beaten to death a million times, but, im looking around, and getting more confused, I have a 2012 3500 crew, single rear wheel, short bed (6 1/2 foot) with the 6.0, most sites don't even list anything for mine (it should be the same setup as a 2012 2500 I would think?????), I want something that will turn heads when my foot is into the gas, but, can be decently respectable at night when coming down my road at 25mph or so at 2am, either a single side exit, or dual side exit as in one dumping out the drivers, and one out the passenger side (don't want rear, as the stock one has already claimed one trailer hitch flap setup for our snowmobile trailer so it don't get pounded with rocks) what should I be looking into? I have found a Gibson setup for $800, but, I don't want to break the bank doing this either, corsa has a sweet sounding one for the 2500, but the price tag is stupid high ($1200) for just a single side exit, kinda would like to just yank the stock system and toss it in the rafters for that just incase something happened to the new system. but, all ideas are appreciated! thanks

You could always buy just a muffler then have a shop build a custom cat back for you. Might be cheaper too.

Mines an 01 but I got a corsa db system cat back for $600 from 4 wheel parts

I love MBRP catbacks. Had a 3.5" full stainless kit on my Yukon 5.3. Sounded great. Quiet at idle and cruise. roared at WOT.

[Lpfm1990]

so here is some of the different kits ive seen, want to stay with stainless being I live in lovely ny state, hopefully what ever I get is actual non magnetic stainless (my tundra had the trd dual which was sopose to be 304L stainless, aka non metallic, and non rusting, well after only a few short winter months, it was covered in rust, and magnets stuck to it, I wasn't too happy to say the least), but anyways, heres what I have seen so far, and I could swing $$$ wise in a few weeks

so that's what ive found so far, which one do you prefer and why? and which one should I totally not even think of buying and why? thanks

Although I spend money at Summit, take the manufacture's part number and Google it. I found the Flowmaster system for a whole lot cheaper elsewhere when I was looking...

 

Most of the cheaper priced systems are going to be 409 stainless, which rusts. But it should only rust to a point, and stop.

[Lpfm1990]

Yeah I know about 409, I cut it at work now and then (I do CNC water jet cutting)

I have a MBRP single side cat back that I'm happy with, not obnoxious loud but you know it's there. They don't list it for the 3500 so I don't know if something is different, might be worth a call to them. The kit is made for all bed lengths, you just have to cut one of the pipes if you have anything other than a 8' bed. The linked thread has a sound clip from my truck.

MBRP is a big name in the diesel world...lots of guys running their systems. Never heard too much in the line of complaints about them, I would consider MBRP if I was in the market.
