Muffler location and type

So I bought this truck from a kid who had 5" MBRP straight pipes and those days are sort of over for me.
I can install a muffler just after the downpipe flange or just before the bend over the axle.
Are there any preferred locations or is one location better than the other.

As far as mufflers go, I'm looking at this one. Appreciate any comments

They are closer to axle on most pics I have seen

If mounted near down pipe, someone might cut it off thinking its a CAT to sell for $

Me, my dog and my guns would love to find someone under my truck cutting anything off it

yup, muffler outlet within 6 inches of upsweep over axle is stock placement.

Thanks man...Got any ideas on a decent muffler?. The MBRP one was like $250 but I see a lot of cheaper ones out there.
Just want something to tone down the beast and don't need it to last forever, figure I'm good for another 10 years so no sense getting one that lasts longer
