Well, mine drones like a SOB. I have an 03 so I never had a cat/resonator. My straight pipe dumps right under the truck before the rear axle. It is a tad loud but I like it.
Now, before JMalone had her cat cut off today (that just sounds bad...lots o jokes there), she had just taken out the muffler and left the cat/resonator on. I thought it sounded really good from the outside. There was no drone inside either.
Start out with just cutting off the muffler and replacing it with a straight piece. If you don't like it you can just replace it with a different muffler or the stocker. Any exhaust shop should take care of you for pretty cheap to do that. If you want to really cut down on the drone make sure that your exhaust tip extends out from under the body.

I think it's 04.5 and up for a 4" stock. If memory serves the 4" stock started with the 600 series motor.

I didn't want the drone and was one reason why I was hesitant about cutting the kitty out. But as stated in other posts, if you have the exhaust exiting outside the bottom of the truck you should be fine.
Hope that helps!!!

I just str8 piped my ride.
all I have to say is. DAMN! I didnt think it was going to be that loud. those AEROs sure do dampen the sound. I didnt get a chance to run it all I did was start it up and check for leaks. But I may be putting the one back in. unless It is quiet in the cab. Tee he.
I couldnt even imagine a straight piped 5" exhaust.
