need help with new muffler(s)

hows it goin everyone.
i have an 04 f150 5.4 with 2.5" true duals with a magnaflow DI/DO 11" muffler and rear cat delete 45'd out the back. but i have started driving it with the windows closed lately because of cold mornings and rain. and it is annoying inside the cab. now, i dont have a crossover yet because it is a tight fit with the way the exhaust was run, it would be pretty far from the engine, i'll wait till i get long tubes for that. i was looking into the borla turbo muffler and the magnaflow 14" muffler. i dont want it to be quiet just not as droney inside. i was wondering if anyone had any experience with the borla turbo muffler? and if there is anything else you guys would recommend as well?

thanks

Borla Turbo is equivalent to Magnaflow 22" body, it will be very quiet. You may be disappointed. Give the 14" bodies a thought or the 18" at most. Or try the Borla Pro-XS bodies.

Do you have any videos of that setup? I love the way true dual magnaflow 11s sound, and I was going to do the di/do to save some money instead of buying 2 mufflers, but I have never heard that setup before.

The borla 14" Pro-XS is less noisy inside than a 14" Magnaflow.

It will be as loud and deep toned but won't have the WOT rasp mine had with the dual 11s.

just view darrens videos and you'll have a general idea of the sound. my only video absolutely sucked. i used my phone because i dont want to go and get a video camera because i know if i do, i'll never use it again

ok. the only true dual borla proxs video i viewed was avfrogs and it sounds awesome, but my laptop speaker sucks so i dont know how loud the truck is in person and i have to use headphones to here anything and it just sounded very loud inside.

i really do like the way your truck sounds avfrog
looks like i'm going for the pro xs.

thank you guys.

^ Thanks! Just keep in mind that I don't have any cats. Stock cats will tone it down a lot.
