I put a Flowmaster 44 on yesterday and oh my gawd. It's fun to stomp it in tunnels. Highly recommended.

Your the one going to be hearing it...what sounds best to you ?? some people don't mind the Drone of some mufflers ... some do.. it's your choice... my 50 series Flowmaster sounds good...but, I have heard better sounding F-150's.

yea i know, i really love the sound of straight pipes but it is loud and my family lives out of state so on those long drives it will probably get annoying, thats the only reason i cant decide but i do like the 40 series flowmaster

I have Banks Monster SI/SO. Sounds pretty much stock at idle when the engine is warm but lets you know its not stock when you stomp on it. No drone on highway. My old flowmaster exhaust was terrible on the highway and I had two flowmaster mufflers rot out. Banks Monster is full stainless kit so shouldn't be a problem now. Check out their dual exhaust.

I've got a Magnaflow 10416 14 inch on mine. Just did a simple muffler swap and added a tip. I absolutely love how this sounds. It's broken in nicely now and has an excellent rumble at idle, and really hits its sweet spot around 2200-3000 RPM. Above that, it is mostly engine noise, but that's expected. I'd recommend it every day!

I put a MBRP XP series SiSo on mine and love it. I've had a thrush setup on my ranger, and usually always ran Flowmasters on my past trucks, but from now on, it's definitely going to be MBRP.
Super easy install, sounds great, reasonably priced, and no highway drone.

I have flowmaster 50 series (single) with passanger exit in front of rear tire. Not to loud, some exhaust drone on the freeway. I think 40 series would have been to much but that just my opinion.

I personally am biased with borla products. I ran a borla xr1 out before the rear pass side wheel and love it. No drone on the hwy, nice rumble at startup, quiet with a low rumble around town and def nice sounding when you stomp on it. Like above said, listen to videos and decide what you like. Everyone's taste is different
