Which 4" exhaust to buy?

I am looking to order a 4" exhaust for my truck.
The most important factor for me is the noise level. I do NOT want any of the drone some people are experiencing. I just want a free-flowing turbo-back setup, that is easy to install, and can fit without issues behind a Jacobs e-brake.
I live in SoCal, and I do not think I need stainless steel, but I'm open to it, to the 409 SS, not 304 (too expensive).
I have done a search and the most popular seem to be: Jardine's, JRE's, Rip's, and maybe Magnaflow and MBRP.
Actualy I was almost buying the 409SS MBRP, when I found threads where members said they experience a lot of drone and noise in the cab when driving. I want to avoid that, and I think with your knowledge, guys, I can make the right decision. Thank you very much for your help, as always.
Give your advise.
P.S. I just had my rear Mag cover installed,and I do not have a factory cat, if that makes any difference.
