2016 5.3 Silverado Carven R series- Need advice / opinions

[SMID333]

Hey everyone! I currently have a muffler delete been running it for a couple years.  I did not delete 3rd cat or resonator.  I love the little bit of added rumble the muffler delete gives me on my 5.3 - 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 but I’m thinking of changing it up to be a little louder, still throaty, and NO drone (or very little anyway) .  I dont have any drone with the muffler delete.  
 

So I’m thinking of getting the resonator deleted and putting a Carven R series muffler in where the old muffler was.  Also debating deleting the 3rd cat but thinking it may be overkill.  Would running just the Carven R series with no resonator be too loud ? Will it drone like a mother ? Should I delete the 3rd cat too and run just the Carven?  Last question in my mind is what if I just deleted the 3rd cat? That would leave me with just the resonator at the rear.  Would it be louder ? Would it be too loud ? Would it drone? Sorry guys just really wrapped around the axle on this .  Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

Taking the resonator off will cause some droning. Removing the 3rd cat will make it slightly louder. 
 

If you are doing it yourself, add the Carven first. If it’s not loud enough remove the cat. Still not loud enough? Remove the resonator. If it’s a shop doing it, take everything off and add the Carven. Worst case you have to put a resonator back in. 
 

I have 1 3/4” headers with race cats and custom dual exhaust. It’s loud as heck, but I love it. She drones like a queen bee, but not at a frequency that bugs me. We have taken it on a few 12 hour drives. Wife loves it
