What's the best muffler swap?
Hey guys so I have myself a 2007 Harley Davidson Edition F150.
It already has a beefier sounding stock exhaust than a normal F150 of the same year.
I'm just curious what the best muffler swap I could do would be, or just keep the entire system stock.
I would just swap out the entire system but I kinda dig how it looks.
Thoughts?

What techrep said. What do you want in the way of the exhaust? In the overall future performance changes of the truck?
Are you planing any other performance changes that may require a certain exhaust to add/compliment the performance you may want? As an example, some have gone the route of a turbo, so that changes the stock exhaust requirements.
If it's just sound, you already have that. If you want louder, then consider your local laws and more importantly, your neighbors when you choose.

Not sure if a muffler swap would give me that or not though

Depending on the muffler chosen, yes, it can provide a louder sound.
Best way to locate the sound you are looking for is to find a muffler shop that will remove your stock muffler, then slip on a few mufflers one at a time, and start the engine and blip the throttle. This way, you can hear it, and decide what you like. Then they weld it all up.
I have a "mom and pop" shop close to me that I've been using for years that does this.
