Default New Muffler Ideas

Ok, I am in the market for a new muffler for the spring time and have had my 40 series on since I have basically had the truck (little over 2 years) and it's still in great shape. However, I have been thinking about getting a new one to change it up. My mind is set on the 44 series so I'm just wondering how anyone likes it if they have it on their 4.7l? I have seen videos on youtube but they are mostly of trucks with hemis or 5.9l's. If you would recommend another muffler what would it be? I have considered Magnaflow and is Borla any good or do they only sell exhaust kits?

Steve

What did you first notice different when you first put the cutout on? Louder? Deeper? Both? lol

I second the cutout idea, it is the best exhaust mod that I have done.
