2004 4.6L want it quiter!?

Ok, my Lil Bro bought a 150 after I got mine. He is very competitive lol.
He wants to make it quieter for when he takes it out into the woods hunting, so he won't scare **** away.
It's a 2004 4.6 4*4 long bed 2door. Completely stock, except K&N filter. And I put a CB in it for kicks.
All we can think of is an additional muffler?? Would we just cut and weld a new muffler in? Or two new ones?
Any ideas?

I don't like being quieter myself.

I really don't think there is room for another muffler. The original one is almost 3 feet long already.

You're complaining about a stock exhaust on a 2004 being too loud? I'd be more concerned about the starter noise.. The '97 - '05 F150 is the quietest V8 truck..

Ya, I know its a friggin huge brick. But remove it and maybe use two diff mufflers?
Well Flowmaster Tech line said 2 WoulD be quite but greatly decrease performance.
what about bigger truck mufflers? Like yanking one off a 250 it 350? Or something big?

Complaining, no. He just thinks he wants it quieter, I say make it loud its easier. I already said is give him all my old exhaust, its not PURTY but sounds sick and looks mean.

I wouldn't think a F250/F350 muffler would be any bigger. Maybe add a glasspack somewhere after the stocker? I remember a case where someone wanted to make their 4.2 dead quiet. We helped him as best as we could (because no one should have to hear a V6 ) but he never came back with any results.
