alright y'all need some help/advise
 
ok ive got a 97 5.4 triton thinkin about runnin stock manifolds and cats(for now) and i was wondering what yall got, thinkin between dynomax bullets, magnapacks, flowmaster, magnaflow, possibly cherry bombs. to be honest im overwhelmed with all the options out there. im lookin for something real loud but not so loud its stupid, and still a deep-er tone thanks if you can help!:thumbsup:

I personally think that you can't beat the sound of Magnapacks, Bullets, and certain models of Borlas. Everything else sounds the same or boring. As long as you keep those stock 4 cats, nothing is going to be loud, IMO.

get some of those bullets an that is goin to be deep, replace those cats with hi flows too

Ok thanks guys, appreciate it! one other thing, might be a dumb question but is it legal to run it without cats? or does it just vary by state or what(ive herd a bunch of different things lately)

Ford trucks from 1979 till present have cats installed from factory. It's legal on my one truck to not have cats because it's from 1975, on the other hand for my 96, it came with 2, and it would be illegal to run without them. Im pretty sure high flows are fine though to swap in.

AWESOME! but..
I see your in Lebanon MO, what do you do about emissions testing W/O your cats? do they just ignore it or do you pass or what??

Magnapacks. I have Bullets, but wish they were stainless, and didn't have that glasspack-ish tone at warm start up and WOT.
