Good sounding muffler

Im looking to upgrade the exhaust on the truck, whats a good sounding muffler? I plan to just replace the muffler. Ive looked all over youtube and all over on here and all i came up with is mixed reviews on just about everything. All im looking for is a muffler that gives a nice rumble, not extremely loud and crappy sounding. Any suggestions? 2001 5.4 scab 4x4

I would suggest Dynomax Ultraflo or Magnaflow.

i went with a 25" thrush glass pack on my 5.4 i'm very happy with it. had it 4 months and 4,500 miles. perfect sound level IMO no drone but a nice healthy sound.

I would recommend a WickedFlow MAX. There are plenty or options out there, and vids on Youtube, though those vids often don't do justice and/or may have more than just a muffler.

I have the Ford Racing Borla muffler and side exit duel chrome tips on mine and really like it. Not loud at all but you can hear it when on the throttle.

I had Magnaflow on my F150 5.4 and loved it. Good throaty sound but not too harsh.
