ANOTHER Exhaust Question

I am still trying to pick out what exhaust I want to put on my 22 6.4
I have seen a lot of feedback on the Borla system, but I kind had my heart set on dual exhaust and Borla doesn't offer that for our trucks. But the single exhaust kit is the only place to get the S-Type muffler with a 3.5" inlet and the no drone benefit. Does anyone know how the ProXS mufflers compare to the S-Type regarding drone?
The plan is to get a SI/DO muffler and have a muffler shop make a dual tailpipe exhaust.

Looking at the Pro XS 400487 3" inlet and dual 2.5" outlets
 
Look at MPI Exhaust systems, I have dual tailpipes, turbo mufflers & no drone
 
I looked and looked for in on on an exhaust. I read that people had experience drone or the exhaust sound was too loud for them. I ended up have the local exhaust shop install a MagnaFlow 12909 muffler and left the stock resonator on. Its not much louder that stock and has a lower tone. Sounds more like a truck. Not really any drone unless I really listen for it that could be just me as know one else has heard it. It runs a hair better and has picked up 1 mpg or so. Cost was about 500.00.

Got any videos of it from inside and outside the cab at idle and various speeds/rpms.?
 
The worst part is the resonator. I am really wanting to get rid of it more than anything.
But the conundrum is cost vs value. I found some MBRP kits that were low cost, but all the feedback is that they drone horribly and to eliminate the drone, cost goes up.

I'd love to take it to one of the local muffler shops, but they're pretty much a "you don't need that, THIS is what you need to do". Essentially a blanket solution for exhaust for all makes and models of trucks.

I was going to make one myself, but my welding skills aren't that great on thin stuff.
 
Sorry no I don't have any videos.

Yes the resonator is ugly I had the tip changed a 5 inch stainless tip. I don't mind the resonator as your eye is drawn to the tip now not so much there resonator. It kinda hides it a bit.
 
Just get rid of the resonator. Use the pipe you remove to make a new tail pipe tucked up out of the way where it should have Ben. Then put on the tip of your choice.
My muffler shop charged me $100 to do the work.

You can than me later.
No drone. Sounds good.
