Muffler for 5.4

I want to replace the muffler on my 2000 F-250 CC with the 5.4. I want to leave the stock exhaust and replace the muffler. Has anyone replaced a muffler without having to change any pipe that sounded great? Just wondering your guys opinions on what I should do...it needs to be loud but no cackle.

I just basically deleted my muffler, and I think it sounds pretty good. I also put in a new y pipe.
Here is a video of what it sounds like

Just have a shop install a performance muffler. I like glass packs myself, but I am old school.

I put a cherrybomb classic on mine (installed backwards). It sounds decent. Not too loud but its still loud enough to mask the leaky exhaust manifold gaskets.

I got a straight through that was angled one corner to the opposite corner. No clue what the brand is but I could see right through it but it looks like a normal turbo muffler not a glass pack. The rest of the exhaust is stock. I have not driven it with out a load but with a load I got the same MPG as unloaded with stock exhaust. Approx load 1400lbs.
