Quietest aftermarket muffler?

Can't stand driving my truck anymore because of how loud it is, I have possibly the loudest configuration there is right now. 3in straight pipe turned out in front of the tires, the drone in the cab is unreal. Had it that way for probably a year now but I didn't drive my truck very much then, trying to start driving it more but I need to get the exhaust redone before I can really drive it regularly.
I want something very very quiet, almost stock, I'm still going to have it ran out the side so all I really need is a muffler, any suggestions? Looking through a jegs magazine I saw a hush power muffler from flow master and thought that might be what I want but after watching a few youtube videos they don't seem quiet at all. More like a resonator I think.
Thanks

Five-0 Ret.
Had a Magnaflow on a '04 Lightning (sorry I don't remember the style). It was mellow for approx. 1000 miles. As it went along it sounded more like a farmall tractor starting off. Sounded like . It did sound good at speed though. If I hadn't sold the truck, I was planning to remove it and throw it as far as I could into the woods.
OP, have you looked at the price of an original equipment muffler?

OP - I would give Borla Pro XS a try I decided to give them a try over Magnaflow. I'm currently running a Dynomax Ultraflow si/so on the 2007, and it's pretty quiet - at cruising speeds I can hear the tires over the exhaust and there's no drone.

Had this SI/DO Magnaflow with the longest length 22" overall on my '04. I was commuting a hundred miles a day and really liked the sound on the highway. Deep but not annoying like the Flow 40 I had on before the Maggie. This was with the 5.4 3v engine.

I'll second that. I love my Magnaflow. If the windows are up, I can't even hear it unless I get the RPM's up around 2K. At around 2500, it starts to get loud. For normal driving (unless you are a lead-foot) it is just a bit louder than stock.
