Exhaust advice

Now that the stock muffler on the 03 7.3 is in need of replacement I was wondering what others may be using. It tows a 12k 5th fine but since it has to be replaced anyway I'm looking for some advice on what would be a decent upgrade over a stock run of the mill unit without going overboard. Thanks in advance for any input or advice.

Some use the Walker big truck muffler. Works fine. Need some piping though. A good "muffler shop" should be able to set you up.

I thought about it but we plow snow as well. We try not to make a bunch of noise hard dropping plows so I'm not very keen about bouncing around in some million dollar driveway at 3am sounding too much like a Mississippi redneck...Don't get me wrong, I'd just go with a straight pipe, I like the idea but things like that don't always sit well with some customers up here.
