The stock muffler is a heavy beast designed to out last your rust warranty, but not really designed for good flow. Will you see huge improvement with a direct flow? No, you already have 390 HP. A 10% increase would be hard to detect, and short of long tube headers, exhaust ain't gonna get close.
That being said, you can up the "look at me I got a cool truck" factor and the "hear me, fear me" factor by adding a better flowing, better sounding muffler. And it will perhaps increase flow when combined with some other mods like a ported throttle body and CAI.
The catalytic converters will keep you from losing low end with a better flowing muffler, but you're not going to gain a lot of low end.
Mufflex is a DIY bolt-on direct replacement in 14, 18 and 24" or muffler delete pipe options. It's all stainless so your not getting cheap aluminized crap like the muffler shops try and use.
