Quiet muffler suggestions

I would love for my truck to be a little quieter. The young man that owned thus truck before me built a nice hybrid motor for it with a huge cam (I don't love the lope), and I guess he ran out of money, because he re-installed the stock header with larger pipe adapted to it. Then to that he attached a cheap muffler and some pipe. Anyway this thing is pretty loud, it actually sounds like one of those Cummins with an aftermarket exhaust to me. I know it needs a header, and that it would probably wake up this motor, but for the moment, I just want a quiet muffler. Any suggestions?
