I'm currently running a cheap Amazon direct fit muffler with my JBA longtubes and catless y-pipe. The truck sounds great but I'm looking to tame the sound a bit. What's a good muffler with little rasp besides the factory muffler to go with these headers? Thanks

Something BIG! Your looking at a minimum 22" muffler case. Swapping a muffler will be annoying as not that many come in larger sizes and the stock dual outlet 2.25". So you better off adapting a Ypipe and then picking a single in/out 3" muffler of your choice. Something straight through with a big case/packing will give you deeper tone and less rasp.

Maggy 18" was too dronie for me
19" borla was better but had a cold start bark I had to tame with a resonator before
24" dynomax ultra (came with a 2.5" catback was fantastic) but you need 2.5" tailpipes or adapt it.
I'm now running a JBA catback and it has a 22"x11x6 straight through muffler and has no drone. Its like a big Maggy but has dual inside tubes with Y's vs a single tube like the maggy.

I would look at the Borla XR1 which come in some big sizes, remember to size with your Y. You can also get my muffler separate and its like $108 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/jba-40-302201

I swapped out my Carven for a Borla when I did my longtubes. That little Carven sounded like **** with the LT's. Couldn't be happier with the Borla muffler. About half as loud, smoother and still aggressive when I want it to be
