Hello and good evening.

Schucks, just run straight pipe from the exhaust manifold to the tailpiece without a cat or muffler.

If this does not meet your needs then go with a header and no exhaust tubing with the exception of a 3' piece for the O2 sensor bung or get a header with the bung pre-installed.

I have the extreme and love the single chamber sound, but my buddie has glass packs and his sounds great too. It's all personal preference

Any straight through muffler or straight pipe on the 300 sounds like a pissed off bee. 40s sound best on the 4.9.

I like the sound of a straight 6. In fact, I like everything about it. I was looking for one when I bought mine, but no luck. Ended up with the 302. Both great motors, but I was looking forward to owning the 4.9.

Hello and good morning.

I did not know what you meant. If you do not provide correct information/symptoms then do not expect to receive any help from the guys/gals on this Forum. There is a lot of difference between a V-6 and an I-6!

Hello and good morning.

If you are keeping the Cats and they are not "gutted" then regardless of what you use for a muffler you will only notice a minimal difference in sound which, when I read your posts, is not what you are seeking.

Please provide all necessary intel so that the members can help you achieve your goals.
