I didn't stomp on it too hard, the motor was still cold. It wouldn't matter anyway due to the camera. It sounds totally different when I open the throttle all the way.
Check out the frame flex. I thought it was pretty good considering it's a 2wd. Ford makes some excellent trucks. Even the cheap-o models like mine are still tough. All I need now is a rear locker.
Alright here's my true duals
96 F150 longbed single cab
both cats chopped off and true duals start where the downpipes would normally converge at the first cat, from there they each go into a walker high flow cat and continue over the rear axle and out the sides, the pipe is 2 inch with 3"x18" tips. this system has about 3 years of use on it
Ok, here is my sloppy, rigged up exhaust... ready to take it to the shop and get the real one put on. Figured I'd post a clip of how the Flowmaster sounds on it, and I have to say, it ain't bad...

- Cat-less
- Flowmaster 40 series (2 into 1) with 3 inch exit, dumping behind rear of the cab.
High idle ~850-900 RPM, Revving to 3400 RPM, and Idle with Load at ~500 RPM
I just love your truck man. I can't get over how good looking those older Ford trucks are. I will say you're not going to get much better sound out of that 300. The way you have it now sounds excellent, I'd leave it be. The only thing you can do to it is make it quieter. If you do want to make it quiet and have duals, run a SIDO Flowmaster 50 series. If you want it loud, keep what you have and have the exhaust shop run duals for you. Or straight pipe it. You can get a kit from Jegs that'll let you straight pipe it. All you'll need is another Y pipe since you have a split manifold.
whats up guys im kinda new to the site... i plan on putting pics of my ole truck up on here soon. its a 89 F-150 300I6 no mods really to the engine 6'fabtech suspension lift and 3'body lift with 38' all terrains, blacked out. . . and i recently cut everything from my Muffler on down off =] so about 2-3 ft of exhaust pipe and also the muffler... i still got 2 cats on there but it sounds pretty good haha.. it gives me a loud roar that i like :P although over 4-5thousand rpms it backfires...but ill never need to go that high
pre egr YF carb, stock intake, efi exhaust, walker downpipe, 2.5" exhaust running out behind the rear wheel with thrush cheapy turbo muffler. Nothing real fancy. It's got 250,000 miles on it, so maybe it's aged like an old acoustic guitar, lol.
Maybe with the bronco wheelbase, the pipe length is pretty short, and the sound is affected by that?

The length does make a big difference. If you weren't a gearhead and wasn't really listening, you might have mistaken mine for a 302 when I had my exhaust exit in front of my rear tire. Now I have it behind the tire and it sounds like a big I6 (which I really like. I think it sounds good).
Yours sounds pretty aggresive though. It's one of the best 300's I've heard. Of course I love that I6 sound, not everyone does.
You have me on the miles, but not by a whole lot my friend. I'm on nearly 212,000 miles myself.
