I have a 3" CVF downpipe which is mated to AFE exhaust. I've been running this over 2 years and need to switch to a quieter exhaust. I will be keeping the downpipe installed. Looking for something with a mild aggressive tone. Thanks for suggestions!

I bought the Magnaflow because it was supposed to be the quietest performance exhaust. I'm stock as far as the downpipe and cat go and have been satisfied with the happy little burble of the setup.

I have my entire OEM exhaust. The factory resonator would probably do what you want. I could cut it off and ship it to you. Just cover the shipping if you want it. It would be an easy weld in. I kept it just in case my exhaust setup was too loud but I never needed it.

I installed the true Borla catback exhaust on my 2019 Ranger Lariat SC 4x4....nice, but a bit louder than my other 2019 Ranger Lariat SC Sport 2x4. It has the Ford Racing Borla exhaust. It is quite a bit milder but still has an aggressive tone.

I also the Borla exhaust witch was a factory option when I bought the truck new.
You hear hit with all the windows open but only slightly when the windows are closed. Very happy with it:

So I went with the SPD Performance exhaust. Installed today. Very happy with packaging , quality and fitment. Main reason i chose was true 3” mate to downpipe. Tone is awesome and wife is happy with the noise level. Would definitly reccomend to anyone looking to upgrade.

You've already picked a solution, but just for others' future consideration, I have the Thermal R&D 3" cat back exhaust with the downturn tail pipe. Nice sound, good price and no drone.
