Glad to hear everyone is liking the system! We would recommend this exhaust kit for the OP as well. You can expect your truck to sound similar to the video below. As you can tell, its pretty mellow until you start to romp on it, which makes it easy to drive daily.
I remember working in the trade when the 1997 F150 came out. You could get that exhaust (exit in front of the R/R wheel) from the factory (single outlet though). I also remember replacing many exhausts, wheels and centre cap because the exhaust would corrode the wheels. I hated that TSB. Maybe technology has changed in the almost twenty years but Ford still seems to dump the exhaust behind the wheel.
I remember this on the '97 too. I like the look but I also remember seeing a lot of green, corroded right rear wheels. Yeah Ford was replacing with a full length exhaust under warranty, and in 1998 it was back to behind the wheel.

That factory side outlet seemed to stain the side of the bed as well.
Picked up my new f150 5.0 last Saturday and the first thing I did was a 2 1/2 level and the Magnaflow duel 19080 kit. Sounds great at low rpm and even cruising speeds. Not loud at all until you really give it some gas then wow it really wakes up. I think it even has more lower end power too. The only compliant I have is Magnaflow doesn't have there name stamped on the exhaust tips like Corsa, Roush and others.
