Need exhaust help
Hey guys, i posted this in the exhaust forum too, but there are many more people here all the time that I thought I'd try it.
I have searched the forum but havent found everything I am looking for. I have an 06 KR Screw with the 5.4. I love how quiet it is but also want a performance exhaust. Therein lies my problem. What system would give me a good performance gain but no drone or resonance at cruising highway speed. I dont mind a good deep sound when accelerating but when cruising I would prefer it to be nearly as quiet as stock.

I have an 07 Scab FX2 w/ 5.4L and i recently installed Dual Magnaflow after rear tire HD style exhaust and i couldnt be happier. Besides looking awesome it does not lose low end torque and has a beautiful idle tone. When you go WOT it sounds like it should which is a TRUCK and when on the highway its very quiet with no drone.
I dont know why you cant find what your looking for in the exhaust forum. That forum actually helped me decide on mine.

Heavy (Floored) Acceleration to 85 MPH Vid
Windows were up for this vid.
Light Acceleration to 45 mph Vid
Drivers window was down for this vid.
Sorry, I don't have a vid for highway noises.
My Magnaflow Single in Dual out makes virtually no noise at highway speeds. I drove from Seattle to Texas and back at 75 mph and neither my wife or daughter ever noticed it. It does get very loud during acceleration though. They're a little pricey, but well worth it IMO.
