Buying exhaust and gears, please take a look
So I've been doing a bit of research here lately as far as buying a new exhaust goes, needless to say it's been a bit overwhelming but I've managed to narrow it down a bit. Please let me know if there are better options that fit my criteria
Truck: 2005 5.4 V8, Lariat 4x4
Exhaust
-Only looking for a slight increase in loudness, main priority is to have a much lower tone. Really don't like having a loud truck, essentially I'm trying to keep the stock dB level with a different tone. Best way to describe my goal. I also like the look of the dual pipe coming straight out the back (which allows for longer pipes to smooth out the loudness)
that most closely resembles what i want
Selection: From the video above all I know is that he is running a catback system and magnaflow exhuast #12388 with 4" rolled tips. I'd buy this system right now if I knew what catback setup he has. So if anyone could toss out something that fits my criteria I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to spend more than $400.
Gears: I'm running some pretty big tires, 315x70x17. Should I re-gear to 4.56? I'm at the stock gear ratio right now, and I don't tow anything too crazy. Occasionally I'll take about a 3-4hr. drive but that's about the max distance.
Thanks in advanced for any help!
