Default Muffler for TDs

After driving the beast for 3 months, i want to quiet it down a little bit. I currently have bullet mufflers on it. Is there anything on the market that will quiet it down and take up about the same amount of space. They are tucked in there pretty good, and i don't think there is room for a muffler that is too much larger.

I was told to look into the Magnaflow 6" rounds(not sure if this is what you have) or the Magnaflow 4x9s, but I was told the 4x9s were tough to fit.

You can fit just about any muffler with a little imagination and access to a welder. 2 full size mufflers can take up about the same room as the stock muffler under the gas tank and it's fairly quiet but deep. I can remove it quite easily since it's flanged and add 2 turn downs before the axle and it's loud as hell with the Powersticks already in place.

I built it myself. Bought a welder last year and and some mandrel bends and went at it. Never mig welded anything before this project. Some of the welds aren't pretty, but it's still together. Those are Flowmaster 40's but have since replaced them with some straight through Dynomax full size mufflers. Sounds less pickup truck now IMO.

For being your first weld project, looks pretty dang good. Want to build another one, if I supply the mufflers? I pay cash?
