Default 4.6 straight pipe

Would a 4.6l straight pipped with 2 1/2 inch flow masters sound good?

Straight pipe means no mufflers and cats. It means there's just piping through your whole exhaust system with no mufflers.

If you mean true dual exhaust however, magnaflows sound much better on a ford modular engine. No cats, magnaflow mufflers and an x-pipe or something of that sort will be lots loud but sound mean and not restrict your power like a flowmaster will.

Where is your proof flowmaster restricts flow? A chart something? I have flowmasters on my mustang. Lightning and 4x4. 2 of which make over 600hp. So wheres the restriction at?
