I have a 2002 fx4 5.4 with the rear cats and muffler cut out. So its just two precats then the pipes connect and run back to about the axle and split off into a Y pipe with about 4- 4 1/2 inch tips. i was wondering how much change would i get if i cut the pipes out at the cats and put true duals but leaving the precats on there. How much louder would it be and would it sound better or worse? It already sounds pretty dang good.

Its just not loud enough for me but id rather have a truck that sounds good and not the loudest than one thats really loud and sounds like ****.

I tried the true dual setup with long tubes and it sounded like complete **** because of the different length pipes. Even with a X-pipe in place. The Y-pipe serves a purpose on a truck. Now a setup similar to a mustang would still sound good on these trucks but there is almost no way to get the pipes before a crossover the same length.

I'm fairly new here and have been learning a lot. You guys are real intelligent about these trucks. I have a question for you guys. My truck is a stock 02 SuperCrew 5.4 and I've been looking into changing just the muffler (maybe add a tip later on). I've read a lot about the Flowmaster 40 and Super 44 and I don't know which to pick. The YouTube videos I listened to seem to make the 40 not sound to loud and the 44 pretty good. I don't want a loud abnoxius drone inside the cab either.
In short...I'm 16 and want a louder truck, but I'm not a knucklehead that wants to be heard a mile away, just a nice V8 rumble. So what do I choose. Thanks in advance!

I was thinking that, but I don't know if a muffler is a requirement in CT. I don't want to start some BS with cops or anybody. Also, all the videos I've seen of no muffler had a crackle, which I don't like.
