Noob help

Hey, new here. I own a '06 4.6.

I'm not good with cars and know little. I want to improve my exhaust. I've read around and it seems the Flowmaster Super 44 Series is the way to go. So, am I suppose to buy this: http://www.car-stuff.com/carparts/fo...39424451.html?

And that's it?

if your wanting a single in single out flowmaster thats all you will need, get that and take it to a shop and get them to cut the factory muffler off and weld that one on there and either a turndown or run out a tip

How much would that cost roughly?

the shop will do it for about 50 bucks give or take, thats cutting the old muffler off, removing it from the hangers, then taking the new muffler and welding it on, then take about a 12" piece of pipe and bend it into a turndown

probably about 30 minutes if he takes his time and does it right

Thanks. Can I only buy the Flowmaster online or do they sell them at Kragens or any auto part stores? Also, what are the benefits of getting this?

benefits is having a good sounding truck and the exhaust shop should have flowmasters seeing as how popular they are, and here my local orileys and autozone carry them

Do you want twin tailpipes? Or just a single exit look? You dont have to settle for one way, but the single outlet will be much cheaper.

Is it worth the money to get the twin? Is it that big of a difference?

The difference would be a little louder, and better looking with tips. IMO, tailpipes finish the rear end of the look of a truck.

My Flowmaster with SIDO, pipes out the rear, with 18 x 3 1/2 tips was $225.
