Which One?
I've been trying to decide on an after market muffler for a little while now. I've listened to every YouTube exhaust video there is... I was pretty set on the Magnaflow 12577 (it's 5x11x22). Now, I'm not so sure.
There are only a couple of real criterias' it must meet. The first is No-Very Little droning inside the truck. The second is that it is only a little louder than stock. I've had quite a few mustangs, and, would only consider Bassani for them. But, they are loud! Not really what I am looking for here...
All I'm looking for is a drop in muffler, not a CB, or a SI/DO. I live pretty close to the stock life these days. And, yes, it will be professionally burned in. Nothing ghetto...
Also, its a 2006 XL 4x4 w/4.6...
What do you guys think?

Just have it mounted as close to the axle as possible. I had a 3" SI/SO 5x11x22" Maggie on my '07.5 - 4.6L STX and it sounded nice. Not overly loud but a slight drone at 70 mph. If it's too loud you can always install a 12 - 18" Dynomax Bullet (Resonator) in front of the Maggie to calm it down. A Bullet worked out great on the '05 Nissan Titan I had.
I worked on aircraft for 21 years and as I get a lil' older I become less tolerant with exhaust drone.
Enjoy.

The most impressive muffler I've ever heard if you like it quiet, but different.

Really quiet when you want it to be/ no drone, but loud if you get on it and want to hear it. Hopefully you'll reconsider not having a dual exhaust, after all, it is single in and dual out.. so its half single right?

This is definitely more along the lines of what I was thinking. I'm just not going to run duals... Thanks for all the advice.

you have a v8. you should want to hear it at least some of the time if not all of the time, same goes for everyone you pass making them give you a double take. Of you don't want to hear it then don't get a v8....magnaflow should do good for you though if you buy muffler like punisher suggested.
