About to install at least the factory muffler, 2003 E250 with 5.4 motor. Looking only for superior quality part, do not want to "enhance, improve" performance or anything else that might affect bone stock operation or sound.
This might turn into a full cat back replacement which is fine. Not looking for anything exotic or custom or claims of increased performance etc---stock configuration is fine for me.
Looking for max quality for a good price---what cha got?
I'd go stock next time around......maybe.
My last van, years ago, was a conversion with the 4.6.
I wanted a little better performance and sound.
Did a bunch of reading and ended up with either a magnaflow or flow master......hated it. Nothing but drone out on the hiway.
I wouldn't mind a good sound outside and good flow that would benefit the engine, but not at the price of quietness.
