Default Cheap 5.4l exhaust???

Looking to do exhaust on my 5.4l. Don't want to spend a lot. Thoughts that come to mind are straight pipe or glass pack? Thoughts or experiences anyone? Thank you

Replace the muffler with a dynomax bullet. Cheap and sounds good.

Will look into it. What size in/out is stock? Either for a new muffler or straight pipes?

Thrush is a knock off Flowmaster. If you're anywhere that rusts be prepared. It's also a chambered style, so know what type of sound you're in for. Stock is 2.5" center-ish in/out.

yea, from previous posts of yours i have read that the aluminum doesnt stand up to rust like the steel does. but from what iv read the thrush is as good as the flomaster. i want a deep tone, but i want to be loud as well. not to raspy. im stuck between the thrush, dynomax bullet, or straight pipe.
