should i put a muffler on it?

i want my 07ctd to sound alittle deeper. i have a afe intake and straight pipe exhaust with a 5 inch tip and smarty jr. i love how loud it is but it dont sound deep it kind of sounds raspy? if i put a muffler on it would it give it a different sound that iam looking for? and would it kill any power? anyone know of a badass muffler and wouldnt kill power and sounds good?

I think the muffler would deepen that sound up and probably help with highway drone at the same time.

if its to loud, your to old

if you want it to sound good, get a 5" tb system. if you pull heavy...greater than say 10k# i would do the donaldson route as mentioned above. when i pull my boat its around 6-7k and it sounds good. when i grossed over 42k the drone was terrible

Build a box in the bed and run a stack. You will have original sound, it will be deep, still be loud, no muffler and no drone on the highway. I had MBRP 5" turbo back and had to put a muffler on couldnt take the drone on the highway. Now I have the sound and no drone with the stack.
