Flowmaster...40 series if you want it loud, 50 series if you just want a nice rumble.

I have a magnaflow turbo muffler and it sounds good i have no cats and stock manifold's, but it has a semi-deep sound from idle to about 3500 then it get's to be loud and raspey.

I don't know anything about exhaust systems so bear with me. I want to get something that will sound nice and woun't rust so a Stainless Steel edition. But I want something to increase horsepower too, So I might be also getting some headers along with this.

istrait piped mine today all this talk about mufflers thaught id see how she sounds with no muffler, its great but realy loud...not to much resination sp? thru the truck however unless you are in the oh 3500rpm up i just have a single 2.5inch dump out the back.looks stock realy other than the tip...this would cost you oh say 30-40 bucks to do at a shop...if they will do it, which they won't so get urself a torch expand off your old muffler and throw on a new one. or have a tube made with a 2" offset... to make it a strait pipe...
