i got a 6.0 with cam, bolt-ons, pace lts, no cats, dual 3 inch pipes, x-pipe, dual 3 in/out spintech and that was it...it was loud. i then had tailpipes over the axle and it quieted down. 2 weeks later, i still wish it was quieter so i could install my stereo system back in...

Walker makes some huge mufflers that are straight through and very quiet.

which way to the tailpipes point? straight back? down? 1 out to each side?

Straight back should be less loud to the driver than the others. Maybe a little more sound deadening material to the interior would help. Sure it will add a few pounds, but nothing compared to the weight of the rest of the vehicle.

I think the "best quietest muffler" would be the one from the factory.

I've also heard of some cone-shaped screens that you can have welded into your exhaust that are supposed to quiet the exhaust down without changing the tone.
