I have a 40 series flowmaster on my 4.6. Sounds really mean! Cheap too. I got the stainless version, pretty much brand new for $35 on craigslist. Then $50 for install.

You could always go with a 14 or smaller if you want it louder.

wow what is going on here?! Dynomax Bullet straight up is exactly what you need. You can either keep your stock piping, or upgrade to 3''.

I have a 4.6 and run a Dynomax bullet. Click on the links of my signature. I think this is what you want.

see im like half and half on the bullet. i hear some good ones and some that sound like complete garbage... the selling point would be me hearing one on a 4.6 2v with all 4 cats dumped in front of the tire..

Videos do not do justice in most videos, very few are recorded with an actual camcorder. Another point is to consider your audio playback setup. Do you have crap monitor speakers? Or a crap laptop speaker? The only way to hear the best possible way is to have a long RCA audio cable thats designed form Computer - RCA Aux inputs and run it through your home theatre system.

The Bullets are very deep toned, and carry a very aggressive rumble.
