Cat-Back indecision

Can any of you experts recommend a high quality cat-back system that they've installed on their 5.4L SD? Not looking for an obnoxious sound or duals out the back. Just a quality stainless system that exits out the stock location. I've seen a lot of guys replace only the mufflers; haven't found much on entire systems. Thanks in advance!

I think you would be happy with a stainless Gibson cat back system.

I second a Gibson catback (I had aluminized. couldnt afford stainless at the time). It was on an F150 though. It will give you the same power as all the other brands, but has very limited interior resonance (near none), as well as a low rumble at the tail pipe. I was truly happy with it on my '01. I might actually go back to Gibson for my next catback when the time arises.

Yeah sounds like Gibson is exactly what you need.

FYI: I've heard the stock systems are stainless and maybe to save you some cash, just do a muffler swap. The Super Duties come with 3" pipe from the factory anyway... just my $.02.
