muffler

I know this is old but is there a decent sounding and performing muffler or pair of mufflers that will fit on the stock exhaust without a lot of b/s? I'm not ready to buy a whole new exhaust.

You can put a magna flow muffler and retain 90% of the stock pipes.

Which series? I'd like something noticably louder than stock. Stock is way too quiet. Loud but not ridiculous. Can I retain the stock pipes after the muffler? I would like somethng that can replace the stock muffler with one or two and not need a muffler shop. Is that being too picky? Tight maybe!!!!! I remember you didn't want too loud. Neither do I but I do want quite a bit louder than stock

Don's bolt,
Is this the setup you run on yours? If so are you happy with it? I'm just worried about the magnaflows since a couple of days ago when i read 99zeus was taking his off because of a performance loss.....thanks for the help...I'm sure that was just a bad luck instance, because I have read of a lot of people happy with them.

BTW Thanks everyone. I guess it's still a popular subject. Keep it coming!!

Skip the shop thing. I see Magnaflow has a locator.

Dr. D,
Im in the same boat looking for a meaner sounding exhaust but not wanting to spend that much right now. Also that is nice that your wife would request a louder exhaust .....not too bad of a deal if you ask me.

Yea

She went with me last year to MIR and everytime I got up there to run it was some super loud Pro street monster. And there I was with stock exhaust. I couldn't hear my own vehicle. I had to do everything by the tac. These trucks are fast enough so they might as well sound like it.
