Last week my muffler rotted thru so I did a search and found a bunch a great info on this thread: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...r-yota-205062/
I read thru the entire thread and was most interested in the Flowmaster 3 chamber 50 series due to the description on sound. It sounds like what you're looking for. Then after reading the reviews posted on this site, I had one installed just yesterday: http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts...J&AID=10399503
From what I read, no matter what ride you put it on, all claims are favorably the same.
I'm glad I did it, it's perfect for me

My guess would be to start with a high flow cat(or punch out what you have) and a straight pipe. with a flow master 40. those are pretty quiet, but they do have a decent rumble to them.
Thats what I'm gonna do with my truck when I get around to doing the exhaust.

ROFL this dude saying the flowmaster 40 series with no cat is gonna be quiet!? lmfao.
if you want quiet, and you NEEEEDDDD a new cat. then get a new cat, maybe upgrade to 2.25" pipe, and add a turbo muffler, they're cheap and aren't loud at all.
of the big 3 chamber flowmaster is nice too!
i personally love magnaflow because i've never seen one of the new ones rust any at all.....and i see flowmasters rusted through all the time lol

I'm running Thorley header to a 2.25 Magnaflow cat, and 2.25 pipe all the way back. Muffler...something cheap and stock-ish that a shop put on years ago, it's falling apart and leaky and far too quiet to have decent flow.
That said, the 2.25 pipe made a big difference, as much as the header nearly.
I don't love loud exhaust, but I do like good flow and a little rumble never hurts. I have a Flowmaster 50 sitting on the bench right now ready to go on, I'll let you know what I think once it's on.
...but that'll be a few days, front main seal decided to give up this morning so that's priority numero uno.

I went with an LCE header, stock cat, stockish replacement muffler and stock size pipe (well the only thing I actually changed was the header and muffler due to the old one blowing apart). The sound changed just a tad, the power band didn't move much at all and I got better flow to match the intake mods I've done. I'd say start with a header, then upgrade the muffler/cat when you have time/money. I plan on upgrading to 2.25" pipe from the cat back (as long as the OEM cat is still good) and a FM when I can afford it later on this year.

hillbilly. nice vids. Do you have stock cat and piping with the DT header and flow 40?
I have the LCE header, 2.25 piping all the way out INCLUDING a magnaflow hiflow 2.25 cat and a flow 50 SUV muffler and its decent. still hear it when you get into the throttle, but quiet if you are cruising. much better the the headaches I got with a 13 inch magnaflow. garbage. I have vids in my build thread in my link.
And knobs, just remember, the fiberglass top reverbs everything into the cab. So something might sound sweet in a pickup will give you headaches in a 4Runner. You have been warned. I learned that the hard way.

lol. BBP has a sub as well. But his is to drown out the kids. hehehe. I just have one 12. I have all 4 speakers as components, so I have them cut off high so I can play em loud, the sub just fills in the bottom end, I don't need to shake neighborhoods.
Even now, I have a little drone right at 65mph, but the old muffler had a deafening drone from 62-68. Made driving the freeway a nightmare, not even the stereo would help. guess my sound deadening tactics help a bunch.
