Will a 4" exhaust for 5.0 be bad for power?

I never really thought about that. I haven't looked at my exhaust up close except for once when I changed my oil, I have the dealer do it. I wonder if the combination of the muffler/big resonator and 4" tubing will still produce good flow and a minimal/tolerable sound.

Heres another resonator similar to the stock one. I think it will fit better since its only 3 inches shorter than the intermediate pipe.

Excuse my ignorance but what does the resonator do
From what I've read it tones down the drone of the exhaust
I got an 09 5.4 liter
I would like a deep rumble no drone
What's my best option?

You're fine. A resonator, from personal experience, reduces high RPM sound, rasp, drone and overall volume. Basically refines the tone.
A Borla ProXS would probably be good for you. Borla has the least drone. Magnaflow has significantly more drone than Borla, but much less than a Flowmaster, or any other chambered muffler. I doubt you would feel the need for an additional resonator with a medium-sized Borla muffler.

i have a 40944 16" 3" si/so and added 3" piping...after 6 months of that i added maggie 13724 a 30" total 24" case round body to act as a res and it made the tone perfect!

I just ran a magnaflow 12770 as a resonator for the diamond eye kit on my 5.0l. It is now exactly what i wanted. Sounds quiet at 45-55 and on the high way at 70-80 reminds me of a stock mustang. Sound is still strong when accelerating, perfect so far for me. Before this around 1500 rpm there was drone that sounded like a helicopter flying close to your house. Not the normal deep annoying drone. This was deep with a wah wah wah sound. I do have the 5 inch tip installed, so don't know how it sounded without the tip. It is perfect now.
