Exhaust on my 16 Sierra 5.3

[tbmaciii]

Hey all, 

 

First let me say, that I have searched this forum in and out, and it has just led to more confusion. Simply put, I am unhappy with how quiet my 2016 Sierra 5.3L is stock, and I want something a little louder(not crazy loud), a nice deeper noise but as little of interior cab drone as possible, single exit, not dual. I want a cat back system that is ready to go, not one that I have to do all of these things spoken about on the forum(deleting resonators, clappers, etc..). Any recommendations? I was looking at the MBRP 3" single exit, but I then read that there was highway drone, which is what I want to avoid if possible, I feel like drone is something that you will grow to hate

 

Thank you in advance!

I hear the Carven systems are nice. The progressive system would be the one you want.

I have a custom cat back setup with 3rd cat delete on my truck using the Carven R series muffler. I personally think it sounds pretty good but would probably be too loud for what you are looking for. Since you are looking for a ready to go system that is not super loud I would look into the Borla S type. Friend of mine had it for awhile and upgraded to ATAK because the S type wasn't loud enough for him. Also, Carven has cat back systems available, they are worth a look but might have drone. If you feel like paying a lot for an exhaust, the Corsa sport claims zero drone. Hope this helps you get closer to a decision.

Corsa is loud for some reason even though the muffler is huge
