Default need ideas on my next muffler

I am looking to replace my 5x11, 22" long magnaflow muffler that I tore up when my driveshaft broke at the track last friday. I like how quiet it is with the headers and 3" ory. I was thinking of either a 24" 5x8 case, or for a little more noise, a 18" 5x8 case. they seem to be cheaper than the 5x11 case on I had, and lighter. I have a cutout for noise, but wouldnt mind a little more sound than I used to have. I hate rasp, and the 22" didnt have any. any thoughts?
thanks

how are you likeing the 24"? is it a 5x8? center in center out? I like a little sound, but a deep mellow tone is what I would like, I have the cut out for the loud stuff.

When I put on my PC long tubes and their ORY on my 6.0L, I ditched everything from the collectors back and went with a single 3" system with two 16" Bullets (http://www.expressdistributing.com/c...prod_links.htm) and it sounds awesome.

From this to this....
