Question New Exhaust (decisions)

Hello all,

I know this question keeps getting asked, but I need some help deciding on what type of exhaust to put on my '01 SuperCrew F150 5.4L. I have read and heard everything from Gibson, Flowmaster, Borla, and even straight pipe it! What I am looking for is a deep aggressive thunder outside, but not that annoying inside (want to hear it, but not like Nascar). I also do not want to lose any torque, if anything NEED more! So far this truck is stock minus a K&N air filter. If you know of something else that would help me get what I want, please post it. I really do not want to go as far as replacing headers, but cat, or cat back, chips, etc... I'd appreciate any constructive input.

Any wav files would be great!

Thanks.

New Exhaust (decisions)

i would go with no mufflers(leave cats on) and big tips, either 4"X24" or 3.5"X22" straight out the back. i have heard it on a 4.6 F150 and it sounded really good and it would sound better on urs. also it is inexpensive

Do the tips really do anything other than looks? Also, I wanted to aim both ends out the left side behind the passenger rear tire (like the Harley F150s). How will this effect the sound?
