What would sound good?
I got a 1995 f150 with an inline 6, 300 4.9L. Right now I have a Flowmaster 40 series muffler, and straight piped the big cat, I like the sound but its just now loud enough, I'm afraid to completely straight pipe it because I might lose power and back flow, or am I wrong? Now that my big cat is off my truck runs like a dream but im afraid to push it by straight pippin it.. any suggestions?

You wont lose much energy in the low end with a straight pipe or flow through muffler. A Dynomax Bullet would louden that thing up well, basically would sound straight piped but very deep.

+1 Installing a Super 44 on your ride would make it sound much better and louder. A Dynomax Bullet is a good option too. But I guess it's totally up to you.
