Conflicting / virtually mutually-exclusive criteria, IMHO.

To attempt to meet yer criteria:

1. Magnaflow 5x11x22 2.5" SISO - replace yer stock muffler = 75% of the effect of a catback. It will still be louder than stock - and may or may not drone - an individual perception thing - only you can decide if it is acceptable or not.

-OR-

2. Stay stock. This is the quietest and most affordable; and efficient enough fer a stock truck.

You are not guraranted and improvments in either mpg's or power with a simple exhaust swap - you need to go with an expensive 2.25" x-piped, hiflow catted true dual mandrel-bent SS system to see any significant improvements. This certainly does NOT meet yer criteria.

Where to purchase?

A lot of people purchase their mufflers from Performance Peddler and use the "clubgp" discount code. They did not have the Magnaflow I wanted in stock so I bought my 3" SI/SO from Ebay for $109.79 with free S&H. It arrived in four days and I saved around $1.00.
