Jardine
My first catback for my 2000 Expy was a Jardine catback. At 2000rpm, the cabin drone drove my absolutely NUTZ! It was loud and obnoxious...couldn't hear myself think. Ripped that sucker off in only 3 weeks.
Then, switched to a Gibson Swept-side and ahhhh.....peace and quiet in the cabin with a nice rumble.

dang, I'm w/ projectmech, nobody has much of a preference. I've been debating all this for a long time now, trying to figure out which will sound best when I get the money saved to buy it and my lift. The time is close now, but I still don't know what to do. I have experience w/ flowmaster 40 on an older f150, sounds decent w/ cat cut off, but I don't want to lose any low end and I don't want it to sound 'decent.' I don't want a big drone in the cab, a little drone is not bad. I decided against flow 40, still undecided on flow super 40, and from what I gather magnaflow has a good sound to it, but just not loud enough for someone w/ my taste. I want it loud enough to hear while idling and driving at all speeds, but not obnoxious and not a loud drone. I thought fourpointsix had me talked into an IMCO muffler, but now he's saying the drone is crazy loud and he's looking into magnaflow. So I guess I've decided against IMCO, glad I haven't ordered one yet, I was about to.
Is there anyone on here that is in their mid 20's, likes moderately loud exhaust that is noticeable but not obnoxious, and not redneck sounding? If so, what exhaust do you recommend because that is a good description of the exhaust I want?

I have the Flowmaster 40...no drone at all. I believe that is because of the quality install more than the muffler. My installer used rubber mounts instead of solid welds....told me up front of a drone issue if did solid connections. He even told me the stock would drone some if mounted w/o rubber dampers.

I've got a flow 40 on my other f150 and it drones at low speeds and rpms around 35-45 mph, so I know they have drone. It is bearable to me, I don't mind and it's not that bad, but you can never tell what people mean when they say 'loud drone' on here. To some w/ sensitive ears, a loud drone is really only a slight drone.

Interesting thread. After reading all this it's obvious to me the Magnaflow 12588 is the correct choice. Midas will install with custom 2-1/4" tail pipes and 2-1/2" stainless tips for around $250.00. I wonder why magnaflow won't make a system that exits out both sides behind the wheels. Thanks everyone for the intelligent posts.
