No muffler.

Or, Flowmaster. They are one of the loudest. I personally am not too fond of the their mufflers, but with the Dakota upgrade in exhaust, it's all in what you wanna hear.

I second that xplikt, the loudest muffler is no muffler,but i would say 1 chamber flow would be way more louder than 2 chamber 40 series.It would be as loud as having no muffler but you'll have that flowmaster sound.

Try Summit or Jegs for Flowmasters - if you plan on keeping the stock exhaust and just replacing the muffler get a center inlet , offset outlet 2 1/2" model - it will replace the stock muffler after you add about 6-8" of pipe.

On my '99 I'm running a 40 series Delta Force - 3" with 3" tubing - no cat and Edelbrock headers and Y pipe and it has a turndown before the axle - it has a pretty agressive sound but it's livable on the highway.

I've had both the 40 series and the 10 series (single chamber Flowmaster). The 10 series had a badass sound at idle and cruizing but under WOT it was super loud and had a whiney rasp to it that got annoying after awhile. Yanked it off and ran dual 3" pipe from the headers back and put 2 Flowmaster 40 series on it.

May not be a good idea for you to put 3" exhaust on yours if you don't have a supercharger or some sort of poweradder.

Actaually 3 inch is to big for anything under 500 hp,I have a 67 chevy pk and 750 and i have 2.5 inch pipe but its not my truck it may be ok for you,but 500 or less hp it breaths good enough with 2.5 inch pipes,anything more is hurting it,I grew up around hotrods.

Hey everyone....just had to pipe in about this. I have to say that the ravin muffler is pretty darn loud. Its the Z-33 class race muffler that can get done by midas. Make sure it is dual exhaust though cuz my roomate has a 5.4L f150 4x4 and had it exit in front of his passenger side tire and it sounds like garbage. If you wanna chirp car alarms then im tellin ya Ravin is pretty darn loud. I always get asked what kinda exhaust i got by other Dak guys. air intake also made it louder!! Build on

If you want a loud ass muffler get a spintech. They are loud and sound bitchin if you can handle the constant noise. I switched from a flowmaster and there was less drone and much better sound and it was louder and seemed to pull harder.
