Everybody has their own opinions on what sounds good. If you just take the muffler out and leave the catalytic converter, it will give it a little bit of volume, but the cat is the best muffler you can get. Be warned that removing your catalytic converter and not replacing it is a federal offense, but that aside, I like how flowmasters sound. They do have a tendency to drone if you put them too far forward in the system. Other people like Thrush or Cherry Bombs.
I personally go with either straight pipes or true dual shorty glass packs. But if your looking for power in your exhaust setup a good set of longtubes and a proper Y pipe setup no bigger than 3 inches in diameter should provide some good gains, as for muffler I would opt for either something quiet for a work truck or at least put a cat back on to dull the sound down a little.
I have a cherry bomb glass pack dumping out the passenger side by the rear wheel and it's got great sound. I had a super 44 flowmaster on my old 90 F150 and with the stock cat it was super quiet and not worth the time/effort/price to install.
Thanks guys Looking for sound not loud just a a good deep work truck growl... something that will at least get a nod in the plant I work at parking lot.... lol thanks
