I am currently driving a 99 5.4L 4x4 F150 and recently cut the exhaust infront of the muffler but kept the stock cats.I love the sound of it but the loss of torque and gas mileage is killing me. Im looking for some opinions on what to get.
Im planning on lifting it as much as I can. Im looking for loud,not having to worry about back pressure,but also will be fine for helping push 37+ tires.

 

if u want ''loud'' and are keepin stock cats get a chambered muffler (flowmaster), not a straight through design like magnaflow. i love the single chamber delta force race mufflers.

but to help power, magnaflow bandwagon riders say their maggies give more power. but it is just a muffler, its not gonna be anything huge.

 

The 10 series Flowmaster could suit your preferences, also the Dynomax Bullet, and maybe Cherrybomb Extreme but I would guarantee the Extreme lasting long.

A Magnaflow muffler wont give power, but it will give you a few tenth gains in mpg.

 

Im looking for something closest to the sound of no muffler...Ive looked around at 40s,44, heard of dynomax and 10s.
Which do yall think is the deepest,best sounding muffler to top of that lifted truck look.

 

Dynomax Bullet.

 

x2 its too loud for me, but deep, growly and get the heck outta my way sound... Prolly just what your looking for

 

whenever in doubt, go with the bullet

 

Sounds like the bullet is what im looking for. Migdaddy,how do you like your exhaust coming out before the back axle? im thinking whether to do that or run it straight back

 

i loved it coming out the side before or the rear axle or before the rear tire (same idea), it sounded wicked, but the drone in the cab got to me. i put it out the back 45 degrees and it deepened it, quiter on start up, and maybe a tad quiter outside, but the sound travels farther. and not a lot of drone in the cab. so if u want a wicked sound and dont care about noise in the cab, run it to side before the rear tire. the sound u get is watever the muffler is producing, because its not traveling through much pipe.

 

oh ya? Im pretty set on the bullet now..you didnt have any problems with back pressure running it on the side did you? (And did you have your stock cats)

 

BP is kind of a myth, but no i didnt have any issues. and yes, i have 2 pre cats and 2 rears.

 

if u get it angled out the rear youl be able to hear the exhaust sound bounce off of buildings or walls or whatever when ur windows are down. it makes it sound awesome
the best is other cars when u pass them lol

 

If you want the sound of no muffler get what I have the Cherry Bomb Extreme. It is just like the 10 series only about twelve inches long. It is one chamber and really loud. It has the straight pipe sound but slightly quieter. It pops and really barks at start up. It mellows out at around 45-50 mph. At 55 there is some drone but not headache like. There is no packing or fiberglass to burn out. It is cheaper than the Flowmaster and all welded. I got mine at a Pep Boys local auto store for 55 bucks. It sounds like what you are looking for. I need to get some pics of mine. My gallery pic is old. I ran two pipes out the side in front of the right tire. I love it.

 

like mig said
go with the bullet!!!!!

 

yup no question. i wouldnt steer you the wrong way. i was looking for the exact same sound gain as u.
