Default Muffler

Not real sure I want to do this but I'm looking for something to tone down my truck a bit but not restrict my exhaust. Getting tired of a really loud truck. And for some reason it does sound louder than others that are straight piped. I have 4" straight pipe now. Anybody here have any ideas about mufflers. This is probably the wrong crowd to ask about mufflers . I was going to ask for a quote from our vendors but thought I would maybe get some ideas here first.

The MBRP on my truck is mellow when you want it to be but when you step on the loud pedal she still has some grunt to her. Plenty loud when I want it to be nice deep tone.

I have not ran one but Nelson makes some nice ones:

Exhaust Products

A buddy had one of his 12V and it sounds great. Had 4" exhaust to the muffler and 5" out.

aeroturbine makes a great one. takes away the harsh tractor sound but gives you the whistle.

Donaldson. You can get one at pretty mush any truck repair place, they have great sound, they flow just as good as the aftermarkets and they can be had for about $60.

If you do some digging around here you should find some part numbers.
