well they make 2 bullets, one 12" and one i think is like 18 or 20". u might try the longer one, but i think the drone in the cab would be terrible, much worse than mine. i wouldnt recommend it. there is loud, and then there is just too loud. i would go with the magnapack. it wont be as loud as the bullet, but with your setup u have now it would sound damn good

Is that what you had before? I love how your truck sounds.. It's hard to get that muscle car sound, and i hate glasspacks and that raspy sound- to me it sounds like fake power if that makes sense.. and my truck actually has the lightning engine and has over 400HP so I want it to sound awesome...

so all you did was cut off the stock muffler and replace it with the bullet. is the stock exhaust pipe size 2.5 or 3? if 3 did you replace all the pipe from the headers so a 3 in bullet would fit? i am wanting to put that setup on my truck i have the 4.6 also and yours sounds awesome can you post some pics from underneath so i can see what you got going on under there. thanks

SupercrewLightn, hit up bluebeast06 he has headers, high flow cats and a bullet, but his might be dumped, and he says its rather loud. I have the same setup but with a borla-xr1 and its right before the rear passenger tire, and its fairly loud as well.

out here in cali they are pretty strict about not touching the cats or Y pipe. my Y is 2.5 and then where it goes into the single pipe its 3" all the way back. they also make a 2.5" bullet so u wouldnt need to get all new piping for a 3", even tho 3" is better performance for a single setup.

heres some underneath pics u wanted. i did have a leak right after the Y where it goes 2.5-3". there was a clamp and it was leaking so my guy welded that up no charge. enjoy
