I bought a 40 Nelson from my local Cummins dealer for $67. 4" straight through, not obnoxiously loud, nice rumble to it. Pics and part numbers in my gallery...
I have the Aero Turbine. After getting rid of the stock muffler I am sure that anything that actually flows will be a major improvement over that. The Aero was a bit pricey but so far I have no complaints.

Fisherguy, Does that nelson muffler have any annoying drone at highway speeds? Im looking for a straight through muffler, and i want to hear the turbo good outside the truck but would like it fairly close to stock noise level inside with windows up....kind of a hard combination to get.

I got the 40" cuz I wanted it a little louder than the 51" which is laso very popular on here.
No matter what muffler you get make sure it's supported well, any little vibrations will give you grief. Try doing a search on Nelson and Donaldson mufflers, lotsa godd info...

I had put on a Silverline 5" turbo back and it came with a straight thru muffler. I liked the sound outside the truck but inside the 2k rpm was to load/drone. I added a 51" donaldson and love it. It is still load outside but inside is very tolerable. This muffler is BIG. When the box showed up I was concerned about fitting this on the truck. It went on without any trouble and I like it.
