Default 2005 f150 4.6 exhaust questions

It's time for me to replace my exhaust because my muffler is rusting through and the exhaust pipe is also falling off because it got bent a year ago. The current muffler is a flowmaster wanna be. No brand name on it or anything. It has a little too much drone in cab anyway. It's hard to hear my son in the back seat sometimes because of it.

Anyway, I have dual pipes into a dual in dual out muffler at the moment. I believe I'm wanting to add an x pipe and do dual single in single out. I'm looking at magnaflow mufflers and I was having a hard time deciding between 14 and 18 inch. I believe I want an 18 inch so it will sound good at start up and when the pedal is punched but I would like the cab to be relatively quiet. It's hard to find videos online because people don't say exactly what muffler they have though. Would a magnaflow #12646 18 inch 2.5/2.5 muffler be what I'm looking for?

Will it sound good under throttle but quieter at cruising speeds/idling?

Thanks in advance

Anyone have any advice? Hoping to get my exhaust installed soon.

I'm not familiar with Magnaflow, but for an install like that, I'd go with a Flowmaster 40 or 50 series.

I have a flowmaster 50 delta series. It has a very slight rumble but not very much. It is not audile while cruising the highway or interstate. @elricfate has a good audio clip of his 50 delta series.
