Question Exaust Help...

Im in the market for a new exaust system. This will be my second mod other than an intake....My question is what EXAUST should i get for me 1999 F-150 v-6- 4.2 auto XLT Extended cab ? I want a nice deep sound.. I had a buddy who had same truck, put FLOWMASTERS on it but is sounded like a damn boat was about to dock...... What do you guys think i should go with ?

You probably don't want to hear this, but:

Stick with the factory pipes, just exchange the factory BUS muffler with a single inlet, single outlet, 2.5" 40 series Delta Flow FlowMaster. Don't dual it and put two mufflers on or anything. You will pick up some much needed torque and the sound won't be like your friend's 'boat'. I just did this and I'm very pleased with the results and the sound.

Hope this helps. . .

Gibson single side swept...

Spintech x-piped catback

replace stock muffler with magnaflow

replace stock muffler with borla

My only recommended options on a automatic.

I'm going with the spintech myself... I care about performance then looks... could care less on sound.

Straight pipe does wonder's for the 5spd's... but it's a sound to get used to.

Ok here is a tough one.
What would be the best to go with, to boost my low end trq but not change my sound to much.
