Another muffler question... Getting headers...

Well i just purchased a set of LT pacesetter ceramic coated headers for the 95 f150 with the 351, my question is right now i just have 2 1/2" true duals with no mufflers or cats. and i like how loud it is and the tone. I know by replacing the stock manifolds with LTs it will be ALOT louder then it is now so im debating wether a long glass pack will tone it down enough or should i go with a Gibson dual in dual out high performence muffler? or will that even be enough? thank you for advice in advance!

Here they are. They are like a glasspack. I think it will sound similar to what you have now. I would probably get the longer ones. That would be deeper and a tad more mellow, but still pretty loud. Its hard for me to say which size better suits what you want. Maybe the shorter one if you want louder.

Be carefull with the bolts when removing the manifolds. I would soak them with PB Blaster several times for a week probably every day. Then use some WD40 before attempting to remove them. I just don't want to see them broken off in the heads.

I agree with the Dynomax bullets for loud.

I would go with Magnaflow mufflers and loose the chambered ones. I'm running Magnaflow on my truck now and it sounds much better and has lower interior noise than the Blowmaster that was on it before. I had both 40 and 50 series Dronemaster on my truck and hated them both.
