Default Exhaust system

Looking to upgrade the exhaust system on my 2007 f-150. What is a good sounding exhaust,id prefer 1 muffler for each bank,and i want side exit behind each rear tire,i don't want duals out the back because i pull a horse trailer and don't like the sound bouncing off the trailer. I was also wondering due long tube headers delete the CAT'S? i plan on getting a K&N air filter or one of that design, if there are any better ones other than K&N i would love to know. And i have been looking at the SCT touch screen,the Diablo sport touch screen.and i was wondering if banks makes the banks iq for my truck.any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I would get a magnaflow muffler for starts with the 3.5" exit at a 45 degree angle off of the rear corner of the bed. They look very good setup like that and have a great sound as well. As far as tubes and CAT deletes I wouldnt do it unless you need the torque and want to start a issue possibilty. Its rare but emissions could get messed up and to me its just not worth it. Now the tuner is awsome, Edge makes one of the best canned tunes and they look really good in the truck and do show a major help for 350 bucks. Now if pure power is what you want I say go for the gryphon and get custom tunes

thanks for your input.i am probably going to get a full exhaust system.emissions isn't a problem in indiana,and the cops around here don't do anything about noise with trucks.i didn't know that edge had a touch screen programmer, does it have gauges that you can view, run diagnostics just like about any other touch screen programmer.and if i go with the sct i have a couple buddies that can write custom tunes.and along with the CAT delete i herd that helps with fuel economy,and I'm all about better fuel economy.

Do you have the ability to install the system yourself? If not check out Stainless Works, they are right outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I just had them install their set up and it's awesome! True Duals, Lt's, 2 cats, x-pipe, 2 chambered mufflers and passenger side dual exit. They have other options for exit styles...
