Aftermarket Exhaust for a 2012 5.0

Hey all,

My dad just bought a 2012 regular cab with the 5.0 engine. He would like a better sounding exhaust and he wants something that will have 2 tailpipes exiting, true dual exhaust is not necessary.

Any suggestions? He wants nice sound but he doesn't want loud droning on the highway.

Borla S Type is what I've got on there now. Had the Roush drone factory, along with a few different mods to it. Never satisfied. The Borla has nice gurgle to it at steady throttle, ZERO drone, and really wakes up when you want to hear it. Being a "packed" muffler, it will get a bit louder, read that better, as it more or less breaks in. Not cheap, $1000 +/-, but well worth it. Nice stainless tips, and all 304 stainless. It ain't gonna rust in my lifetime.

Right now, I have my engine set on 91 octane performance tune, [SCTX4 with 5*], and I really like it a lot.
