Just bought the truck a week ago and am going thru doing some repairs, and discovered that my exhaust hangers are either broken or missing and the exhaust is hanging by wire. Most of the exhaust looks to be in pretty decent condition, so was going to bring to my local exhaust shop to have some new hangers welded on but...If it's there, is there any cheap easy way to make the truck sound a little better, a little throatier? Would a muffler replacement be enough? Or would I have to go to a larger diameter pipe from muffler to tail, or does good sound require a full FlowMaster exhaust system?

I have a magnaflow dual in/dual out muffler on mine. (True dual system) with 2.25" pipes to the muffler and 2.5" tailpipes. Sounds badass, but it'll run you about $300 total. (Including labor at the exhaust shop) i put a video of mine up on youtube, just search ford 4.9 magnaflow if you want to hear it. It's a flat black truck.

This is my 96 4.9 with stock exhaust manifolds and thrush welded(knockoff flowmaster 40) muffler from autozone.
the muffler cost me 30. Found a exhaust shop to weld it up for 80 from the cat back And run it in front of rear tire

Your starter is turning kinda slow there buddy.

Eh, that video was taken about a year ago and it still starts fine. Appreciate the concern, though
