Turbo XL biggest, Turbo, Pro xs, XR-1. Go with the XR-1 if you want the Roush sound. No question.

I'm sorry but i will never put anything magnaflow on a truck again after the amount of drone i dealt with on my 05 with two different maggie kits.

I like deep deep sound, level of loudness really doesn't matter this time around.

Ok, thanks for the help!! Now if i can find a damn shop around me to do the swap properly and for a good price i'll be all set..

I think my factory piping is stainless and 2.75", so should i order a small length of stainless pipe too when i get the muffler? And what size inlet and outlet? cause most of them only come 2.50" or 3"..

id call around and find out what shops do stainless and find the best prices. I would 100% buy your muffler and/or tip online. I just use the shops for piping and welding.
