If you're swapping your muffler, you'll want to take out that "Y" pipe as well, since it's very restrictive. My di/do system cost $215, all inclusive. That's new pipe from the cats all the way to the tips in front of the rear tire, and it's a true dual system since there's an "X" in the muffler. If you don't want super loud, but you want deep, try the 16" maganflow or cherry bomb. Both flow well, and both sound great.

It's like ron333 said earlier when he talked about the Mustangs with very good sounding exhaust, that is what I am wanting. I also have a 4.7 so I wasn't sure if that would figure into the equasion or not. Thanks so much for your patience, like I said I know nothing about how to get the sound I am looking for, just what the sound sounds like. I am not sure but I believe I have 3" exhaust all the way, it is still the factory exhaust.

So I take it you went with the Magnaflow from the looks of your sig. I'm not familiar with exhaust systems at all. The times before when I have taken my previous trucks to the muffler shop I just told them to make it loud and with this truck I don't want that. I am definitely looking for that "throatier" sound. I found this muffler on ebay and was wondering if these were a good choice or can I not go wrong with the 16" Magnaflow?

There's also the Cherry Bomb Vortex 17" DI/DO #88116 that will likely produce your sound, but may be slightly more restrictive than the wide-open Magnaflows. I'd steer clear of the Extreme series, as they have a very short 6" body.

I would suggest contacting Spintech and asking them which muffler will do as you are wanting for your truck. The one you linked to is going to be louder than the one I have, and possibly have some drone to it, but I cannot tell you how much more. I described what I wanted to them and the one I have is what they suggested, but that was for the previous truck I owned with the 5.2l and Pacesetter LT headers and 3" y-pipe. That muffler sounded PERFECT for that truck. Now that it is on my newer 5.7 it still sounds really good, but definitely different than on the other one. I didn't ask them if it was the correct one for it, I just used it since I had it already. I also don't know how much of a difference the sound will be between a 4.7l and a 5.7l engine. The muffler that you linked to also is smaller than mine which means fewer spin traps and increased sound. As I mentioned, it may have issues with drone, but these are questions for the gurus at Spintech. http://www.spintechmufflers.com/ They have a phone number listed on the home page... it is definitely the quickest way to get educated answers for your questions.

Magnaflow mufflers are awesome, simple as that. You could literally drop golf ***** through mine. I cannot imagine there are many other options short of a straight pipe setup that would flow better. They are stainless steel, affordable, and have a lifetime guarantee.

Kudos to Brandon Anderson! He definitely helped me alot in my muffler choice and thanks for understanding I just didn't have the extra money to do a catback and just wanted to get the sound I was looking for the cheapest way possible at the time. I did go with the Magnaflow #11259 and I am loving it. It sounds freakin' awesome! Not too loud but it's got that deep, throaty sound too it and don't get me wrong she will talk to ya when you get after it. Thanks alot Brandon and all who commented.
