Need advice/ tips for a 2007 xlt 5.4L

Hey I just purchased my first ever truck and I'm going to need a bit of help figuring out what I want. I want it to be loud and deep my budget is about 1000-1250 ( is this enough to get a bad *** exhaust?) I've read the Stickey and everything but since I pretty much have no idea
About trucks ( I spend all my time working
On tug boat diesels ) I don't know where to start and
What would sound the best. I'm eventually planning on getting a lift kit and put 33"s on it so would this affect my decision at all?

True dual Borla XR1s. Buy them on summit racing, jegs, or performance peddler. Get high flow cats and run 2.5" piping.

A grand should be more than enough. All depends what u want. If u want the best then go with what they say. You can get a single exit custom exhaust for around 3 or 350. Do you want the best or just for your truck to sound beefier and like a truck. My exhaust setup was 250. 3 inch single exit flowmaster. All just depends what u are looking for. It sounds like a truck now which is what I wanted. I know some will hate on the flowmaster, and that is fine, just letting u know there are less expensive alternatives.

I will x2 this, a good sound for sure. Not so familiar with the sound of the S-type on the 5.4 Tritons. Save up a little more and you could put in Longtubes.

The S Type mufflers will be a little more aggressive sounding than the XR1. The XR1 line of mufflers was designed to have all the "flow" with out the "noise". The S Type muffler is there signature "Stinger" kit muffler.
