No tone

The guy who put together my dual exhaust on my 69 CST/10 did an outstanding job and it looks really great. The one thing missing I think is adequate muffler, but the tubing is bent and welded and mounted very nice. It goes straight out the back under the bumper. I have the truck's original 350 engine, rebuilt with stock setup.

When he was setting me up he was asking what sort of tone I want. I told him no tone at all, quiet as possible. He put what I think is glass packs on there. It does not look like what I view as a muffler, with an oval can shape, but rather looks like a larger round pipe a couple of feet long before going back to the smaller 2-1/2" pipe. It's somewhat loud and the drone is getting old.

I see lots of posts (many many posts) in the forum where people talk about sound of the truck. Maybe I'm a stick in the mud or something and I apologize for that, but what I would really like is a truck like my Dad's 74 C-10 (or my Mom's 70 Cutlass) when it was new. You could barely even tell the engine was running. There was more noise coming from the radiator fan blades than the exhaust. I'm talking about completely quiet, no "tone". How do I get that? What mufflers do I install?
