what did you have to do to get the bullet in? sawzall the old one off? clamp or weld the new one in? can the original exhaust tip be clamped to the other side of the bullet muffler?
Sawzall for sure. My intention was to have the original tailpipe reused but there was a bend too close for a clamp to work. It could have probably been welded but I went for the before the wheel look and a big slash tip. My setup uses clamps because I wanted to do it myself and also be able to replace pipes/pieces as they rust out.
Pic of my tailpipe, right above the stupid horse. . Easiest and shortest route besides dumping it.

so is the OEM pipe that i attach the new muffler to an inside diameter of 2.5 so the muffler fits inside or is it 2.5 on the outside so the new muffler sits on outside it?

The tailpipes in 04+ are 2.75" diameter, but everything else is still 2.5" until 2009 which went to full 2.75" ( finally ).

Hello m_melen. Can you post some photos of your 2007 5.4L FX2? So that I will review it and give you some suggestions on what you are going to do to upgrade it more.
