f150 5.0 exhaust options?

Sorry if this has been posted before but i'm looking to add some bark to my 2011 fx4 5.0, Right now I have the stock exhaust with a resenator but no muffler, thinking about cutting the resenator out and adding a super 10 or a cherrybomb extreme? What you guys think?? Thanks!!

How bad is the drone without the oem muffler? Maybe an 18" Magnaflow, 19" Borla Pro XS or a Dynomax VT muffler.

You can put about anything on it that you want to, if you are just changing the muffler. It all depends how much drone you want to listen too while cruising down the highway. Most straight through mufflers are going to have some drone to them. If you add echo tubes on the ends, it will make it worse.

I have had several different setups over the years, and I finally just quit doing anything to them, because I like it quiet when I am cruising at 80 for 4 hours at a time. Guess I am getting old.

Does the maggy kit keep the factory res on a 5.0 truck? and how big is the muffler in the kit.
