exhaust

I have a 1997 f150 4.6L V8. It needs a new exhaust and i dont have alot if money to spend because im in high school and dont have a job. im woundering if there is anyway i can get a good exhaust system and maybe add a little performance for around $150

Big order for small clams.
Forget any performance increase.
It's not there to get.
If you only need a muffler and tail pipe, that should be doable for $150 if you shop carefully.
Note the low priced spread won't last much more than about 2 years.
The exhaust has acids in it that will eat uncoated steel tubing especially at joints or welds.
Good luck..

If you go on YouTube you can search for different mufflers to pic the sound you like.
I run Magnaflow. the smaller you get the louder they are.
A Flowmaser would be better then glass-packs. And the 44 Flowmaster has a nice sound to it.
There is a lot of different brands out there. You need to shop around.
