Default which muffler should I go with?

My truck is a 01 stepside 4.8. few small bolt ons. the muffler broke at the neck on a big bump the other day and I need to replace it. Doesn't have to be crazy loud but loud under full throttle is fine. I have a magnaflow on my camaro and it's pretty nice. IDK what to do on the truck though. a magnaflow? dynomax? hooker aerochamber? what would you use?

This really depends on the owner lol some like loud, others like quiet. I have a thrush turbo muffler and its good for me, the sound is between a stock and Magnaflow.

The truck is not a daily driver so being alittle bit loud won't bother me lol. I like the magnaflow on my camaro a lot and think the truck would sound good with something similar. Which magnaflow do you guys have? It still has stock manifolds on it btw but that will change eventually.

I should have edited my post. Lol

Only run the big case magnaflow's. 24in casing or bigger... IMO

I have the 30x5x8 on mine
Had the 30x11x8 on my old H/C 5.3 truck and I loved the magnaflow on it.
