High flow muffler with OEM pipes
Looking at buying a flowmaster 40 delta series muffler for my truck. What I want to do is replace the OEM muffler with the new one but use the same pipes. Has anyone done this? I seen one done on youtube, and it sounded pretty good. I know this swap would make the truck pretty loud, and thats okay with me. I don't expect much of any power gains, I only want a more agressive tone. Just curious on if anyone has done it, what people think of the idea, and maybe some type of video of it.

To make it sound even better cut the exit pipe back and put a tip on....
I would not use a flow master though....my choice would be borla

I looked at the borla mufflers and they were almost twice the price. Not to say they didn't sound good, I just didn't like the idea of paying so much for a more subdued sound. I want an agressive sound. idk, I have always liked flowmaster exhaust. I guess it really all comes down to personal preferance. Does anyone have a video of something comparable to what i have (CAI and edge evo) with a aftermarket muffler with OEM pipes on a 5.4?

Then think about a muffler...

I was thinking of switching to a gyphon, but both edge products and the peole from gyphon said if the truck hasn't had any problems, there is no point to switching. Been running the CAI for about 12,000 miles now, and the edge for about half that. Haven't had any issues. Even drove the truck from Fort Bragg, NC to Michigan, then all the way the Fort Huachuga, AZ. Got pretty decent gas mileage also considering the motor size. Right now all I want is a louder, more agressive tone. I don't want to just put a pipe where the muffler is. Thank for your help everyone.
