exhaust set ups
what are you guys running for exhaust set ups if you changed them out. i am looking for info on tubing size, if you went with a dual in/out, or single in/dual out combo or whatever it is that you guys may have done for an exhaust setup. i am looking to change my exhaust soon and want a nice tone to it, but nothing that is going to kill my gas because i get on it for no reason...

I'm still running the stock setup, but once I get the spare cash saved up I'm gonna run a single in dual out flowmaster 40 on my 5.4. I like it kinda noisey but I've heard nothing but good about a magnaflow, only thing about those is they are kinda pricey and my exhuast guy told me they're kinda quiet when you leave the CATs on it.
My buddy has a 4.2 and he's running the same flowmaster set up, for a V6 it actually sounds pretty good... At idle.

yeah i am kind of leaning towards magnaflow myself with the single in and dual out as well...but i have been pricing out headers as well and have considered a dual in and dual out as well...i just dont want to overspend on an exhaust set up that i am not going to be satisfied with

My 98 4.6l I started with just a cherry bomb with all stock piping, then moved to a single in dual out flowmaster 40 series. That muffler rusted out, so I just had a y-pipe welded up, so now I have stock manifolds, stock cats to a single in dual out y-pipe with 2.5" all the way out under the bumper. I LOVE the way it sounds! I get compliments all the time.

Yep! The fact that these trucks have 4 cats quiets it down quite a bit on their own.

out of curiosity, why did you go with shorty headers over long tube? and this set up sounds about what i am looking for. if you dont mind, how much did you pay for it all?

well i was looking but my buddy bought them for his truck but decided to go with longtube. i payed $75 for them but about $250 new. pain in the butt to install but i did. muffler was $60 and the shop charged $30 to install. in the future i may switch to long tube and go with 2 magnaflow high flow cats or just get rid of the cats all together. not decided yet.

Mine was a quick decision change to have a steady rumble but not anything I could hear my stereo over. I cut out my stock muffler and welded in a 4" body straight tube cherry bomb glass pack with the needed extra pipe to make up the gap. Exhaust exits at the stock pipe, but damn I like to hear it rip when I'm feeling cocky. IMO, cheap easy and not to bad for a 4.6L.
