Default muffler

Is it better to run a muffler or strait pipe on a 01 dodge 2500.

I have seen on here that a GOOD performance muffler show better gain on the Dyno, but for unknown reasons. I'm running straight, and love it!

That is the main reason I am not putting a stack(s) on my truck. I don't want any "drone" in the cab.
