Default Best sounding exhaust for 06 5.4L

I am looking for possibly putting a new exhaust on my truck due to the fact that the one on there now is getting pretty rusty and not looking too good. On the truck now is a Cherry Bomb Muffler, I think it's a Vortex model, single in dual out and exits split rear sides behind the tires at a 45* angle.I like that look but am open for suggestions.It has a great sound to it that i really like. I sounds good at idle but is pretty loud when your on it, which I like. I can't seem to find too many kits that, that offer this same look. So I was thinking maybe just buying a muffler and some tips and having it custom bent to suit my needs. So i guess my question really is, does anyone know of a good kit that does this? or, What is a good muffler that makes great sound a little on the louder side? I like the Corsa Sport it sounds great on their site and so dose the Extreme. Does any one have either of these. I also like the idea of a Banks system or muffler but have never heard on a F150. Had a full banks system on my Cummins and loved it. Or maybe just get another Cherry Bomb and go that route again but I have not heard of or seen anyone else using one. Any input would be great. Thank you in advance for the help.

I went with this kit:
MBRP S5204409 T409-Stainless Steel Dual Split Side Cat Back Exhaust System : Amazon.com : Automotive MBRP S5204409 T409-Stainless Steel Dual Split Side Cat Back Exhaust System : Amazon.com : Automotive

It is nice quality, exits about 45 degrees behind each tire, and sounds nice. Although it isn't the loudest setup I have ever had on a truck, I am very pleased with the quality, and it comes to life when you step on it.

I have the same exhaust. Love it, not the typical flowmaster sound. I had a super 44 flowmaster and it was way too loud, and had a lot of drone on the highway. Im much happier with the mbrp system.
