Default 04 ram exhaust

I have an 04 ram 1500 4.7 single cab. I purchased it used and it has an extremely loud no name exhaust on it. It is extremely loud, and drones like no other, I am tired of it. I was just going to replace it with the stock exhaust, but after looking online that seems really expensive. Does anybody have any suggestions? I am looking for a cheep quiet exhaust, stock or after market. I dont care about performance, I just want something quiet, this is not a fast truck.

-thanks for any help

whatever muffler you end up with, just keep in mind... the longer the muffler, the quieter it will be. also, you can always add a resonator as well, that will help quiet it down. personally, id look at one of the longer (24"+) magnaflows. wont be too loud, but will still flow very nicely. also wont break the bank! a flowmaster is going to drone no matter what size it is.

the annoying drone sound that drives you crazy in the cab at certain MPHs.

i would start with just replacing the muffler,like john said Magnaflow is a good choice its quieter than flow master and if that is still too loud get a resonator put on
