Default best muffler for cummins motors

hey guys, decided my truck is way too loud is scares my 3 month old soon too easily.

which mufflers are you guys running on your cummins and what are your favorite ones?

i still want it to be loud, just not as loud as the straight pipe. and i want it to sound good. no rice burner sounding exhaust

my dad has a magnaflow muffler on his 06 dodge and it sounds good, but i think they also make a much different sound than the 12v's do. and his is still a little too quiet for me

What size pipe you have under that bad boy?

When are you going to come down and say hi?

I put on Rip Rook's 4" exhaust a few years back. I really like the sound, but it's not scary loud. He had the best price I could find.

thanks

i think im going to go with the mbrp muffler. my dad has one on his 06 common rail and it sounds really good. i just wasnt sure if it would sound good on a 12 valve, since they sound so much different
