Stock replacement exhaust???

I just bought a 2005 V10 CC Lariat 4x4 with 49K miles. I'm still learning about the motor and unique characteristics such as the exhaust sound. Truck currently has an Xlerator 1 in 2 out exhaust with 2 tailpipes exiting out the side of the passenger wheel well. It sounds pretty good actually, by that it has a "beefy" tone and tame going down the road. The downside is it appears the tail pipes are rusted badly and already holes around the base of the outlets in the muffler itself. I'm not particularly fond of the dual pipes out the side so I'm contemplating replacing the muffler and tailpipes with a stock-like aftermarket muffler and new single tail-pipe. My concern is I haven't heard a V10 with stock exhaust ...

I do like a beefy sound but quiet going down the road. I think I'd like a new Xlerator muffler but not the dual pipes and I think the dual pipes is what gives it the sound it has now which is why I'm kind a leaning toward a stock-like quiet system overall.

Not looking to spend a bunch of money either ... is there a stock-like system out there I would be satisified with?

A few picts of what's on it now ...

Below is a link to the system I recommend. It is a little louder than stock but has enough capacity to not be annoying. I have installed two of the Force II systems on my 04' and my dads 03' V10 and am happy with them. Autoanything has the cheapest price around I've found and includes shipping, I got both systems from them.

My exhaust threads. Keep in mind the installs are on 2V V10s. The 3V exhaust is setup a little different and will sound a little different than the 2V.
