Loudest Muffler?

Waht is the loudest muffler I can do True Duals with??? I have true dual Cherry Bomb Glass packs in a cat back style. it just doesnt seem loud to me any more. I can cut the cats off, but i need a new set of cats on the driver side any way.

could I add High Flow cats and a "X" Pipe or do i need to be looking at a whole new set up?

I was also thinking.......

High Flow Cats --> "X"-Pipe --> Borla Turbo XL (Round Style) --> and Either Cab Dump or Straight out the back Exit.

Any other ideas??
5.4L V8


Will a exhaust headers and high flow cats set up for a lightning work for a standard f150?

from what i hear dynomax bullets are the loudest around. i have a 10" long oval maggy strait through and it sounds pretty nasty but everyone says the dynomax bullets are the loudest best sounding ones for our trucks on the market.

Yep, the magnaflow cats will add some extra sound. As far as mufflers, from what I've heard on other peoples trucks the flowmaster 10's and the cherry bomb extremes were the loudest, bullets were just a tad quieter but sounded the best.

Thinking about going with a OBX long tube headers and highflow cat setup w/ a xpipe dual glass packs an a hidden cab dump.

Thoughts?

I have JBA shorty headers Magnflow SI/SO and maggy higflow cats. IMO its perfect for me but then again I just wanted an aggressive growl sound with a good tone and not too loud thats why I went with the magnflow single rather than duals. I just added the maggy cats this weekend 2 high flows will replace all 4 stock factory cats and yes it did get a louder but not overly loud as some said it would. Some of the maggy high flows are louder than others I chose the 94306 because they are a not as loud as others. If its loud you want go with dynomax bullets. But you will also get lots of drone a problem I dont really have. Good luck!

I will be posting a video of my exhaust by early next week.
