Flowmaster Exhaust - what muffler?

hello everyone.

after some extensive research on youtube i still cannot decide between 3 mufflers. i'm def. gonna go flowmaster i just don't know what one.
i have it narrowed down to super 44, original 40, and 40 delta flow series. i ran a 50 series on my old 99 4.6 and it was a little quiter than i'd like, how much of aa difference is there in the 5.4?

anyways, my truck is a 2006 F150 Screw, 5.4. factory everything for now plans for a CAI and tune in the near future

but i was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving your opinions/experiences/video & sound clips to help me decide.

i want aggressive/deep exterior with as little interior as possible. i know to mount the muffler farther back, but i also don't want a muffler that'll make it hard to carry on a conversation inside (person to person or telephone)

also, does anyone know of any good muffler shops in the northern virginia area that'll mandrel bend some pipes for me.

thanks, and i look forward to everyones opinions

I just got my dual exhaust done yesterday and I love it. Edit. I've got dual super 44s

It's not loud in the cab at all but it has a sweet mustang sound to it when I romp on it.

Of course I also have longtube headers and high flow cats which make it louder than it would be on a stock exhaust system.

Here is my thread, I have some video's towards the end.

Keep in mind that it doesn't do the crackling under normal driving conditions, only when reving it. And yours probably wouldn't even do that without headers and high flow cats.

Super 44 is the only Flowmaster product worth buying.

If he didn't directly specify he wanted flowmaster, sure, the bullet. Otherwise, the super 44. If you wanted a flowmaster with a More aggressive tone, you could go with the outlaw race muffler. (Basically a higher priced, flowmaster badged dynomax bullet)

i think the reason nobody runs it is bc the smallest inlet diameter i found is 3.5 inches for the outlaw lol
