04 5.4L 3V f-150 exhaust opinions

[s-trimCOBRA]

i just bought a 04 f-150 and it has a 5.4L 3V and i have no idea what they sound like with aftermarket exhaust. i thought about running a single 3" pipe all the way back with a bassani muffler. i'm open to suggestions and would like to hear some sound clips. thanks [ not really wanting flows on this truck, had em on my last one ] :thumbsup:

that mac setup is sweet, it would sound even better if you get rid of your cats.

Indeed, that does sound good.

Here is why you don't touch the cats on F-series unless its a diesel:
NOBODY makes cat-forward assemblies for our trucks so anything done cat forward has to be NOS or custom, and if you get rid of the cats....it will not pass emissons...

Emissions shit we dont care about that around here. I would get rid of the cats regardless there is some good power hiding there. that or get some highflow cats on there.

The Magnaflow sounds good until you gas it. Then it sounds like a steam pipe. :nonono:

Borla has some options. Sounds good!

I got my dad to buy the same kind of exhaust for his truck except it was the magnaflow SIDO. Looks exactly the same except the tips aren't rolled. Sounds about the same too. Not really loud but noticable.
