Another vote for Corsa. It’s plenty loud when you put your foot in it, but has zero drone on the highway. I spend a lot of time on the road, so this was a must for me. It is fairly loud on cold-starts, but calms down. Of course this is subjective, but it’s about as loud as I would want it in the morning living in a suburb
Construction is 304 stainless, which is also a plus. My one and only gripe is that it only comes in a single side behind the rear tire exit configuration for the 5.0. But, I am doing as several are and swapping my lariat rear bumper to the platinum version with exhaust cutouts, and having a shop build a custom solution for this out of 304 stainless using my Corsa muffler and 4.5” tips that I special ordered from them.
All of that said, if volume were not a concern, I would probably go stainless works or vibrant and go true duals. They are loud as heck as they come, but you can stack multiple mufflers/resonators to calm it down.
I'm also in the hunt for a different muffler for my 5.0. Currently have a 10 series Flowmaster and love the sound but my wife hates the inside cab noise/drone of it. I like loud exhaust and have had previous straight-piped 5.4L Ford's that sound great. Was thinking of doing the same but just not sure if I want that much noise yet. Looking pretty hard at a Borla straight-through 3" muffler. Just not sure which one and what not. Also may delete my resonator this time. Don't want to spend $700 plus so just strictly looking at muffler's and a resonator delete. Can't justify getting rid of stainless factory exhaust.
Drez, what are you looking for in an exhaust system? Is power and weight important, or focusing more on sound? This info can help us and others recommend the exhaust that best suits your needs. We take it you are looking for something more on the aggressive side since you are considering the ATAK or Black Widow. If so, something like our Off-Road Pro series (#19083) or our dual before-tire exit (#19054) may be a good fit, but please visit our website below to check compatibility. Some of these systems are cab/bed length specific.
If there are any questions we can answer for you, please do not hesitate to shoot us a PM or call at 1-800-990-0905!
I talked to a local muffler shop, he recommended a 3"/3" offset muffler. We are going to run new pipe from cat to muffler and out, eliminating the resonator. You guys have a 14" #11229, 18" 12259 and a 22" #12589. What's the difference? Sound? All of this is going on a 5.0, I want a deep rumble, no raspy and little drone in the cab. Is this possible with one of the mentioned mufflers? TIA

I would use some type of resonator, without it's probably going to be rasby and a lot of drone. I've been crazy busy with work so I still haven't got to my headers and exhaust. Hoping to get it done Memorial Day Weekend.
I'm still running the Magnaflow without a resonator and its very loud and the drone is pretty bad..

You want the 22”. It will sound a little tame at first but will get a little louder after a couple of months. It has almost no drone after settling in. The 18” will have more drone and volume.
