Exhaust advice needed, Please!

I own a 2005 Ford F150 XLT. It has a 4.2 liter V6 engine. I would like to get a catback exhaust system but so far I have not found any made for this exact application. But I was wondering if the systems made for a 4.6 liter V8 would be the same?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

buy a muffler online and have a shop mandrel bend some pipes for you. i had a 40 series si/do on my 97 4.2 and it sou8nded pretty mean. especially for a 6. i just had it exit infront of the passenger side rear tire.

a muffler shop can do it easily and it will prolly end up cheaper if you find the right shop

Flowmaster 40's sound pretty good, i would just have an exhaust shop put duals on for you. It only cost about $350, a cat back system (if you found one) will set you back about $400 without installation

i was just quoted $350 by two different shops. this was for a 5.4 but it really doesn't matter. that price was a whole new dual system (not true duals) (new piping, muffler, and tips).
