So my initial honeymoon thoughts on the muffler delete is that it's awesome. It's without a doubt NOT too loud and makes the truck sound like a truck.
To me it's that perfect throaty growl. Idle sounds great, normal not horsing on the pedal sounds great and stomping on it sounds great and will turn heads. When MDS comes on there's a noticeable change in sound that I'm not a fan of but it's far from a deal breaker. It's not bothersome enough to restrict the gears to 8th either. Cruising at 65-70 is barely noticeable in the cab and with the radio just half way up I don't hear it at all.
As far as drone goes I can't say either way if there is or isn't one. I'm not familiar enough with what it sounds like.
So all in all it was $390 and well worth it. I was looking at the Borla S type, so it appears I just saved myself $1000. I am curious how the S type or Atak compares, but honestly I don't see a need after the delete.
I'm coming from an 04 F150 that had a solo performance system (Can't remember what parts specifically) and that was quieter than this with not nearly as deep a sound and got annoying on the highway at 65-70. I get it's a completely different truck but that's all I have to compare to. Here's a couple pics of the finished job.
