Default Cammed l96 muffler selection

I have a tsp ls3 stage 1 cammed l96 6.0 with doug thorley 1 7/8 mid length tri y headers. I currently have 2.5" true dual (no x or h pipe) to some knock off flowmaster 40 mufflers. Eventually I'm going to upgrade to a 3" true dual but I need some ideas on mufflers. I'm looking for little rasp but a little louder than these knock of 40s. How does a magnaflow bullet 4" round 14" long (14419) do with respect to rasp? Also any other muffler ideas would be appreciated.

It's in a 1987 Chevy 4x4.

Thanks!

My set up is a FBO LS3, kooks LT, 3” mandrel tubing, H-pipe, dual 3” Borla ATAK mufflers, turn downs right before the rear end. Super rowdy love the tone and at WOT sounds beastly.

My mufflers are a 14” case also. Have a listen for yourself. Any pics of your truck?

That's sounds pretty wild! And that paint looks good!

Here it is, it used to be alot cleaner paint wise, it was totaled then it was rebuilt, but I daily drive it and went everywhere with it until I began the swap.
