I have, or should say had a muffler delete pipe on my 06 2500. It has rusted thru and I'm looking at a Cat Back MBRP system. Can anyone tell me how the exhaust note of the MBRP compares to the exhaust note of the muffler delete pipe, louder, quieter, and I live near Cinn, OH and they use salt all winter on the roads, should I go with the stainless or will the aluminized hold up ok? Thanks

With your area I'd go with the stainless material. For a stock truck the MBRP muffler is relatively quiet. I've undergone "numerous" exhaust configurations ranging in open tailpipe style, open stacks, muffled stacks, multi-muffled tailpipe..etc, etc,etc.

Now that I'm aging I do enjoy just hearing the radio so I opted to couple a Grand Rock "resonator" (4" in/out, 19"L x 10"D) directly to the MBRP muffler and the sound out the tailpipe is almost stock sounding.....albeit, I do have a larger turbo so I do get the lovely whistle out of it. If the wife approves then it must be a good setup!!! The open stacks were nice in the looks dept but my goodness......even I got a headache listening to them. Now I just enjoy the quiet whistle.

Hey jhenson, sounds like it should not be any louder than running my stock exhaust with the muffler delete pipe on, would you agree?

It'll be quieter! I'm assuming you still have the cat in place....adding a muffler to the equation will only quieten it down more.
