exhaust reccomendations
So I am looking for a mean, mean *** rumble when its at idle, and a nice roar during acceleration, however I dont want it too loud while im cruising on the highway and all...
straight pipes arent an option.
anybody have any ideas?...i have an '05 5.4 so if u know what will **** off my neighbours/passengers let me know pleeeease!
oh ya and to get it started i plan on doing cat backs

i have strait pipes and i love the way it sounds. its quiet at an idle but screams at WOT. ive never had any problems with the cops about it and i get compliments all the time. but you dont want strait pipes so i dont know what to tell you

well what i had on my truck was straight pipes 
until i left my truck at my dads house for about a month when my b-day was close i left him the keys if he needed to use it for sumtin and well he did he put a exhaust on it for my bday lol i wasnt mad at him its the thought that counts but it was so much quieter lol he got his buddie to bend up a exhaust for free with a super 40 flowmaster in it, it sounds ok but im cuttin the muffler out and putting a slp loud mouth 1 in its place with a y pipe to go to my duals. they are ok for a old man just wanting a nice lil rumble but for a real truck it needs a race muffler like what im gonna use

the way mine is ran is its cut off right after the cats and has 2 3/4" pipes all the way back. like i said, ive never had any problems with the cops, and i get compliments all the time on how it sounds. i didnt loose any performance when i did it either. i run my truck in the 1/4 mile every time i do something to it and i just about stayed at the same times. it was slightly better. i didnt have time to check the MPG's before i got the intake but with the intake and exhaust, i gained 2+ MPG's.
