I know Borola is about double the price not sure if they are worth it or not.

Well, let's see; You don't want the drone, but you want it to be heard when you "get on it".
Question: is the "turn down" before the axle? if yes, then the mufflers are right underneath the cab. If you lengthen the pipe and put the mufflers between the cab and axle then that should reduce the drone.
Also, take it to a reputable exhaust shop that the other Hot Rodders use and get their opinion and, for that matter, get them to install it for you.
Mufflers are all a matter of personal taste. I use Hooker Aero Chamber in Stainless steel and my exhaust is SS & full length and exits between the rear tire and the bumper. You should definitely check out "FLOWTECH", I think you'll like them A LOT

Magnaflows sounds great when used with a full length system, but are very harsh, raspy (Not good) when used with short systems. Borla's are just over priced, not to mention it'll make you sound like a...well. Just leave these to the Lambo guys and stick with something a little more befitting an American truck.
I'm also surprised the California Lefty Eco-Nazi's haven't kidnapped you and your truck, forced you to watch Al Gore videos all day and night, then force you to drive a Prius, then demanded seedling packets for your release.
