single stack with hush muffler

anyone heard a 6 " single stack with a hush muffler? I want to put a single 6" stack on my rig cut just below the roofline,but dont want to go deaf in the process. I plan on leaving the cat,installing a 20" hush muffler,and using grand rocks single stack with internal baffle.I currently have an mprp muffler and it sounds great,but the truck really needs a single stack.Can it be done without being unbearable in the cab.I dont tow to often an when i do its only about 3,ooo lbs.

i run that setup. noisy but bearable at all speeds. passengers don't complain too bad. big difference vs not running a muffler. noise has increased since install though.

Don't waste your money on the internal stack muffler.They are a joke.I tried them out and they only made the slightest of difference.Not worth the money

If you can find a muffler that will fit (i believe the AERO4040xl or the 5050 will fit) between the down pipe and your 90* you will be fine....but still it gonna be loud!

I have a 6" single miter cut stack cab high. I have an Aero Turbine 5050XL between the down pipe and stack elbow. I also have one of the instack mufflers. It is still too LOUD in the cab most of the time. The instack muffler did tone it down a little at cruising speeds, but not much. It sounds fantastic outside, but can be very annoying in the cab at times.

Thanks, like I said it sounds great from outside the cab. Cruising speed is not to bad, but in town it is annoying a lot of the time in the cab.
