If you want it to sound like a tractor why don't you go to tractor supply or farm and fleet and buy a tractor muffler for it?
I've had dual and single exhaust (currently dual) on my six with the hedmen and it didn't sound much different either way. If you do a search or look up my posts you will find a sound clip I posted of it about a year ago.
If you were thinking of running a straight pipe I would do that first too, if you don't like it chop a section out and insert muffler (:

dude trust me... ive got it right.. if you have a cam or your idle is set low it sounds even better.. but im not so sure about the deisel sound.. the 300 is good sounding but a deisel is a lot more powerful sounding.. as in like if you put a tennis ball in the exhaust of a 300 and a 5.9 cummins ,the 5.9 sounds like it could shoot it about a mile. the exhaust just "dumps" out into the air and sounds effin awesome..

brazzeal, what do you mean straight pipe with a glass pack? are you saying to replace the cats with a straight pipe and then run a glass pack then nothing? Or keep the cats and just run a short straight pipe with a glass pack at the end of it? and what do you mean by hallowed glasspack? a glasspack minus the glass? I know I ask a lot of questions =P

ok get you a glasspack. pull out all the packing material then cut off the exhaust right after your manifolds.. or o2 sensor. then bend up some new pipe put the glasspack about where your stock muffler was and do a turndown.. its louder on a six to have a turndown than pipes.. the glasspack is only for inspection.. if you dont have to have a muffler for inspection then forget it. but i had a true straight pipe before inspection and the hallowed glasspack really makes the exhaust note deeper. and it crackles a little when you rev it... sounds good.. if you need a cat then cut one in half and weld it over the pipe where a cat should be like a shell...

turndowns causes unwanted resonance. removing the cats or modifing them is illegal and modern cats dont cause much restriction, leaving them is a wise choice.
glasspacks sound like *** on anything but big block v-8s. i had a friend with the same basic set up as mentioned above and it sounded like someone who ripped a wet fart that had diarehhia.
