help decideing on exhaust

i am ready to order an exhuast with in the next few days, but still not sure which one i want, i will be running all four oem cats. i am looking for a system that is loud and will get noticed easily (im a kid), i like the sound of the borla stinger but can't find just the muffler any where and haven't found a system made for our trucks.

truck is 2000 f150 5.4 looking for side exit with large tips maybe 4"?

thanks for any suggestions

heres a link with a link of a f150 lightning with the stingers on it. just get a cobra cat back or ask borla if you can get just the mufflers and have a shop make the rest work.

nahhh not with all four factory cats,

might as well run true dual straights, bullets, or 10 series flowmasters like mine

and you cant get to loud with those 4 stockers on there, hack them off and get 2 hi flows

go check out my signature, im young and i like my truck loud!!! and its legal

and 3.5" tips are plenty big

emissions are no fun!! i think you can hack off the back 2 or all 4 if you get high flows and still pass the tests. im no 100% sure thoe. get some maggie High flow cats. i really think if you just want LOUD then just put pipe behide the cats dont put a muffler. if you need a muffler to pass get a dynomax bullet or any of the other stright threw mufflers mentioned i think ull like um. 4" tip would be pretty big not to many people run that big i say give it a shot get that megaphone effect going

dynomax bullets are what you need it sounds. highflow cats will make it a lot louder as well.

i like my 3.5 slash cut tips, if you want good off-brand tips for cheap go to performance-curve.com, i bought my 3.5x18 for like $17 a piece, they also have 3.5x22 for like $20, or 4x18 for $20

here are my 3.5x18 tips,


performance-curve also makes highflow cats, and if they are built as well as thier other off-brand products, i would certainly save some $ and buy them over magnaflow, but im not sure if they pass emissions though, there are no emissions testing in my state so you would have to look into that.

So you want loud on a budged? Then I would suggest run no muffler, when inspection time comes pop on a muffler or glasspack or something, then once your passed and home, pull it out.

Dynomax Bullet would be my main suggestion for a muffler.

Dynomax Bullets are Nice for sure fast idle but when you slow down the pop and crackle kinda get annoying after awhile, you can do the same set-up as me with just one cat on each side, then eventually save up for high flows if their not loud enough for ya and I have High Performance Glasspacks called Purple Hornies.
