Default Better sound

I have a 95 ford f150 4.9 cyl v6 300 and I was wondering if there were some headers I could put on it and make it sound better I realize I'd probably need a catylac converter probably a flowmaster and new pipe all the way to the bed of my truck?.. Any suggestions on what to do?

Its a strait 6 not a v6. The only na six cylinder that sounds good is one you can't hear. You're in the wrong section btw

A 4.9 liter is an i6 ( inline 6). A v6 has three cylinders on each side that meet at the crank and resemble a v. An inline 6 has all 6 cylinders in a row

The don't have much sound without sounding like a loud law mower. The factory manifolds flow better than aftermarkets anyways. I have both stock cats and no muffler and it sounds alright, not loud at all and slightly deep. You can take the rear cat off since it don't have a post o2 sensor to make it louder but it might not sound good.
