I recently bought an 04 F150 XLT and i want to know what people think for an exhaust... would i lose alot of power just running 3 in from the cats back or should i throw a muffler in there and if so what type? im looking for a loud crackle when i hit about 3 grand and something that isnt to loud just idleing??? thanks for the help!!

 

i got rausch headers with cats still in with true dual 2`3/4 straight piped with 3inch tips and i love the roar smooth on highway mean when coldstart and idilin
