Sick of the Str8 pipe

My friend just bought an 05 and after driving it I remembered how nice it was to have a quiet rig. it just sounds so much more refined. Unfortunatly when I straight piped my truck I threw away the factory muffler.

Is there any muffler out there that is as quiet as the factory muffler w/o impeding flow as much? I want the absolute quietest muffler I can get my hands on.

Any help would be appreciated and BTW if anyone has a stock muffler they wanna get rid of let me know, because if I dont find a quiet aftermarket muffler I will be lookin for a stock one

Thanks
Dave
