Default Exhaust-Muffler

Greetings,
I have a 2008 FX2- 5.4. Getting tired of the silent exhaust tone. I'm looking for a more deeper throat rumble. I live in an area with tough emmish controls, so am I limited to just a muffler? Which is ok, as long as it sounds better. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks....

I personally like Flowmasters, especially the 40 series, better flow, and a nice deep rumble. Although I've recently discovered a muffler called a Thrush Welded sold at Advance Auto Parts that is basically the same thing as the flowmaster 40 series but for a third of the cost.

I'd say if you want to pony up the cash, get a nice dual exhaust set up put on, either a true dual with two mufflers or a muffler with a single inlet and dual outlet.

Just my .02.

Do you know if you want duals or just a single exhaust? How loud do you want to make it?

I'd get on youtube and listen to videos of our trucks with magnaflow exhaust and flowmaster. Find a video you like and post a link here. That way we can help you get the right parts for it.

I bet emissions probably just means for your cats unless they check for sound too. Check out MBRP I have one it sounds awesome and is loud when you step on it and quit other times.

I say flowmaster 40 all the way thrush sounds different to me it's like 90 for the flo and 120 installed most places they have to add a small pipe in because of size difference or u can dump it and it's not much and good sound

Default Research Drone too

Be careful what set up you choose because with some set ups you will get cabin drone at certain RPMs.
