Default Loud Exhaust

Not 100% sure yet, but assuming that I get approved financing for my F150, I'll be picking up my 2011 XLT tomorrow.

If everything works out, the first thing I plan on doing is putting a muffler on the truck (V6 with FlexFuel).

I was wondering: what is the loudest practical muffler that I can put on? I don't want to lose much MPG but I want it to roar at the same time. Suggestions?

44/10 single to double dump. Simple instal if you can tig weld, buy the muffler and dump that hoe by the cab. Get it done, and congrats on the purchase.

My prior truck was a 03 F-150 5.4L. I had 2.25" custom bent dual straights on it. It would set car alarms off. Gonna do the same to the 5.0. Should sound way better with the 5.0 though!

Check out this site. They have a sound clip of how this Cherry Bomb EXTREME muffler sounds. The website says, "Recommended for aggressive sound"

Why not just leave it stock?

Just bend your pipes at about 30 to 40 degrees downward.

He's right. It's a V6, it's going to sound like somthing it's not. But hey bro, it's your truck. A real man would have just paid that extra bit for the 4.6 or the 5.0 and the piped it out. And afterwards visit all your friends that live in apartments with covered garages!
