Depends on which part of TX you're talking about, but NM is right next door.

From everything I have heard there isn't much that sounds good on a V10 because of the firing order...

My Excursion came with an Aero-Turbine stainless steel muffler, sounds nice. I like loud mufflers though so a Flowmaster would be my 1st choice.....

Exhausting . . .

Like 59 CRL, I have an aeroturbine 3030XL. Really like the way it sounds. Not Rice ! No resonance. Stock exit. Sounds equally great on gas OR diesel Pulled the trigger after 2 years of reading here and listening to you tube video clips. Second choice would have been a flowmaster Big Block 50.

If you want a Flowmaster I`ve been told the 70 series is what you want. otherwise find something in a different brand.
