Best muffler for muffler swap on 2000 ford f150 5.4
Its stock right now but I want to do a muffler swap to make it sound better. I pull a bass boat every other weekend or so and I'm around 2500 rpms out of overdrive on the highway and I don't want something that will be too overly loud or annoying, but I don't want to change out the muffler and it be hardly noticeable. I also want to get a muffler that I can use in the future on a Catback system. I don't want to spend much so I was thinking a thrush welded which is similar to a flowmaster 40 I believe, or get like a 14" magnaflow. I really don't know much about exhausts or mufflers so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I too did not want to be overwhelmed by exhaust tone.
Have you found the exhaust section there is a bunch of info there...https://www.f150online.com/forums/ex...ust-guide.html
I did swap my factory muffler for a magnaflow 18" oval unit. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with it. I don't hear it much at all at 55-60mph, & at interstate speed say 65-75mph it is a bit noticeable, but not bad. One can still have a conversation and hear the radio but ya might have to bump up the volume just a bit. The tire noise, or road noise is more of intrusion depending on the road surface. The only thing I was hoping for was more growl on blurp of the skinny pedal. I think if I would get a more of a straight through flow design I would get that. My current muffler does not have straight through design. I do "some day" plan on redoing my catalytic convertors to just 2 (1 per side) and that should yield my desired note.
If you want to go with twin tail pipes then you should look for a muffler that has single inlets and dual outlets (SIDO)...so look for that in a catback system. YouTube has a bunch of sound bites/videos to compare to.
