I wouldnt say a tight budget I just dont want to spend an arm and a leg for sound.
What is the difference in the lengths and what is stock pipe diameter on these trucks 2 1/4? or 2 1/2

stock pipe is 2.5" and if you want duals later i would go with 2.5" through out then as well. it will sound alot better than 2.25.
overall length is the entire length of the muffler, longer the muffler=quieter the sound. shorter muffler=louder.

f150fella08 I think im going with the bullet you suggested its the shortest with 2 1/2. Thanks so much. What size tip? Does shorter tip mean louder? What about the diameter is it like that to? and I think if I get another tip I am gonna do slash cut I like the look of that.
actaully the longer/bigger the tip the more it echos out, kinda like a megaphone or what ever that things called.
is your truck 4x4 or 2wd? what you could do is run a Y pipe after the bullet and run dual tips out. i would go with a 3.5 or 4 inch tip. unless its 4x4 then you could get away with a little bit bigger, note i said a LITTLE bit bigger not freakin 8" tips

Its 4x4 thats the only way to do it for me haha! no offense to the 2wd owners or trucks but I prefer my 4x4. I think I have a 3 or 3.5 inch on there now and would either keep that or upgrade to 4. Would there be much of a sound difference in the y pipe and just 1 pipe? If not then later on I might do the h pipe and 2 bullets
well with a y pipe you could run 2 tips. and it would look a LOT better IMO. and it would sound a little better too.
if i were you thats what i would do. actually i would get one of those 18" dual outlet glasspacks EVERY shop has and get them to run 2 pipes off of that, or Y a bullet.
the bullet would sound better, either way they would wind up costing about the same.

WTF
No, your right! Most people hate the thought of the "cut off" mufflers, but truth be told, that is the best possible sound out of a Flowmaster... No pipes after the muffler, not even turn downs...

I have a 5.4L 2001 Screw and looking for the same sound without spending a bunch of $$. Which Bullet are you talking about..the race Bullet? And which size (diameter) for a stock 01 5.4L?
