Looking for new exhaust

I have an 07 f170 with the 5.4L V8. I am looking to buy a new exhaust and am leaning toward the flowmaster. Any suggestions on what series would sound best? Thanks...

Oh yeah? Haha. I gotcha.

Any reason you're leaning toward the Flowmaster? What are you after in the end? Sound or performance? What are you looking to spend?

The reason I ask is that Magnaflow has the reputation of flowing the best and giving that extra bit of torque where Flowmasters are referred to as Slowmasters and are said to hold back a bit of performance. The numbers really are so close it isn't going to matter much in the end. It's really about what you're looking for personally. Flowmasters are designed with sound in mind more than flow. If that's the route you want to take though then most people say the 44 sounds the best. Personally, I really like the sound of the Roush Offroad System that Woodhouse sells. Roush is made by Borla so you know it's quality.

Damnit, I said I liked the Roush first. Haha. I remember someone posting a video up before of the ROR. Anyone know what I'm talking about that can link this guy to it?

no, Roush is made by Borla- the installation instructions clearly state Borla tm on the bottom of them.

Maybe Rousch is, but not Roush. Roush is made by Borla.

I am primarily looking for a better sound. I have done some research and found the performance numbers to be pretty close. Money is not that big a factor but I would rather not break the bank if possible.
