Best sounding exhaust on '05 5.4??
Funny you mention that. This morning it seemed a lot louder than before. I think she finally sprung a leak in the muffler. I'm going to check it out tomorrow but it is about 4-5 years old probably the most basic design you can get. I have been wanting to change it for a while but never could settle on a set up. Guess now I have to.
OP, the feller below had a really good sounding exhaust. I believe the specs are in the description. Seemed a lot of folks liked it!

Meh...she was good fer me the way she was. But I'm sure it would've sounded great with Borlas, too!
I have always been a fan of MAC exhaust on an type of Modular Ford motor. I had MAC on my 06 F150 with the 5.4, and also on my 2000 Lightning. In my opinion its a great sounding exhaust that not too free flowing and doesnt crackle/pop like some. Has some deep sound, and some good tone. Having said that, I am very impressed with the sound of Corsa on these trucks...I just ran into some videos of some 5.4's with Corsa recently and they sound great, and the quality is top notch. I have an old video of my truck with MAC on it and I may be able to upload it today if the quality isnt too horrible.

I would def like to see that video cobraman302! I know most everything y'all have said sounds good... I've watched many videos. And I agree, why half do it and then have to come back later and work on it more. Only problem, I'm working a low salary job fixing to go back to school so I'm really wanting to see the best sound setup for me without dumping tons of $$ in it... I know y'all are thinking "cheap skate"... but it's more like "broke butt"

So I was more thinking the least I could do for a good sound... ya know like just changing the muffler and dualing it out the back from there. I know I won't get the sound like what Darren is talking about (which I know sounds pirdy awsome!!) but something good sounding without breaking the bank...
Thanks guys!!
They sure do!
Above video was also with LT's (Pacesetter) which as far as I can tell gave the Borla a very nice extra growl.

Personally this is what i would like my truck to sound like, just dont wanna spend the money right now.

OEM exhaust on the 2004+ trucks actually flows just fine like an aftermarket cat-back. Its only worth sound upgrade these days so don't expect it to perform better. The only setup not involving longtube headers and cats that increases performance would be X piped 2.5" true duals and the improvement would be seen at high rpm ( truck will be a hint faster), or x piped 2.25" mandrel bent unrestricted true duals. Your low end torque will be stronger but unnoticeable change aside of sound when up to speed.
I copied his hoping for the same results. He runs high flow cats. a 3" midpipe from the Y, a 3x14" Magnapack, Y split with 2.5" tails and 4x18" tips.
