the one time my exhaust fell off my truck i thought it sounded good, lol, that was just no muffler and had the cats on. Sounded like a gnarly tractor.
The biggest problem with headers sealing, is typically the gaskets that come with the headers are junk, and if the bolts arent torqued down perfectly, they like to back themselves out.
BTW, i like crown victorias

Anyway that was my point. I wasn't saying to stay away from headers. I was merely saying he can't go wrong with EFI manifolds, and to be aware some headers have issues sealing.
When I had both cats and no muffler, it sounded like a tractor. I loved it, actually, and if I ever have to put cats back on my truck again I'll just run it with no muffler.

i had a long and short glasspack on my truck, along with a flowmaster, magnaflow, thrush turbo and no muffler along with the newest Moroso. the glasspacks were very ricey on the higher end. i dont know if it was the EFI manifolds the highflow cat but it sounded lousy.
Like I said, it all depends. The 300 is picky about exhaust sound.

Here are some sound clips that aren't of my truck.
YouTube - Ford 300 Inline 6 straight pipe <--- Both cats, no muffler. I like it.
And here is the 2.25'' Y pipe with cats I was telling you about. It sounded more mellow on my truck for some reason. His sounds more like a tractor.
YouTube - My 89 straight six Ford F150
Here is what is supposed to be a straight pipe.

I think the above video belongs to a poster on FTE.
And here's one with a Flowmaster. Not sure how it's set up.
YouTube - 1996 F-150 300-6 Exaust
And here's another of mine

yes, it was magical, lol. it was rusted in front of the muffler, and some sideways offroad action caused it to break off. I was having so much fun i didnt even notice it happened till i got back on road and heard the tailipe scraping the ground, lol, it sounded good though.

Ahh....Another of FORDs' mysterious wonders of the automotive world....
Thats almost like the little beeping sound scares the crap out of me every so often, only happen though if I am playing around do donuts/slides, the truck shuts off, you start it and drive off only for the beeping start for about 10 minutes and quit as mysteriuosly as it started......*Scratches head, takes a drink of beer, and walks off*
