I sure wished mine had Borla put on it by the PO. He put FM catback SI/DO kit with twin 2 1/4 tail pipes and 3" SS slash tips with rolled ends. Looks great, was way loud though.
I added a 2 foot long red glasspack in front of the FM and it softened it noticeably, painted it to hide the red.
That Borla would have been my preferred choice.
I'ld keep the cats stock until something happened to them.

I recently had a Borla dual catback exhaust system installed on my 2004 F150Lariat super crew. It is the 5.4L. It is not as loud as I wanted. I cannot even hear is when the engine is idling or I am at regular cruising speeds. It sounds good when i first start it up and I am accelerating. If I have the catalytic converter removed will it sound better? What would be the benefit of doing this and what would be the downside?
Here is also a great price on magnaflow hi-flows - I got 2 for about $98 shipped to my door.

Exactly. Ford catalytic converters kill a lot of noise, they are very resonating. GM is the only automaker who has a near hi-flow cat type of converter stock.
