New Muffler Opinions

I'm new here but by looking over the threads here everyone likes the bullets as a muffler. i have a 97 f150 that still has all four cats and as of now i have a flowmaster original 40 series SI/DO lightning style. its not doing it for me though, i want something louder but im not sure what to get. ive been on youtube and i really like the extreme and flow 10 series and i have listened to quite a few bullet videos. the bullet to me sounds like it would be in the same sound level as my 40 series but it is very hard to tell by the videos. im going to dump it before the axle and drone doesnt bother me at all so what do you guys think i should go with?

The bullet will be as loud as a straight pipe just very deep and aggressive sounding.

bullets are louder than 40 series, hands down.

or a borla XR1 if you want performance

3" is the best performance from a single pipe exhaust, allowing more exhaust flow, and creating more volume. 2.5" is for true dual exhaust. have ur shop weld 3" piping from the Y all the way through the bullet and to ur tip

I mean the 40 series and high flow cats.

If it's still not loud enough, dump the pipes right behind the muffler.
