name that muffler!

So I have made a few threads already, just trying tp learn from u all! My new question, does anyone have any idea what kind of muffler this is? My truck is far from loud, and it seems like this little 2.5in (my best guess) is my issue. Want to keep it single pipe, but louder. Its 3.5in from the muffler back. Its fully welded from turbo back, minus the bend by the rear wheel. That is clamped to this piece. Suggestions are welcome u all know better than my young self. Haha.

Also, any idea what that set screw type thing is for?

I think that hole is for cleaning it, it appears that its a spark arrestor muffler. If your turboed strait pipe it!

makes sense, it used to be a farm truck that an old man drove. im gunna try to find a length of pipe, and chop out that piece of exhaust with the muffler on it. hopefully i can find it cheap! im guessing 3.5in isnt easy to find at a local store.

I cut mine just before the muffler and just hung it up out of the way so it was wide open and when need be I can just sleeve it back together and its all still there... The gap is only the thickness of a hack saw blade and still fully functional when the band is in place.... It took all about 3mins
