I had a flowmaster on my 94 bronco with a 302, sounded good, but to quiet for me. Right now i have no muffler at all, but i still have both stock cats on it. So its got a nice rumble to it

No muffler at all is your best bet if you want much noise..

i had a 90 5.0 truck with 2 cats. i had no muffler and it sounded like crap. i got a single in dual out with big bells angled redneck style out the back corners. but it sounded quiet since the cats were on it still.

I did that on my '95 and it sounded awful. Had a "drone" to it instead of the deep big-block roar. I had it strait-piped first and that sounded worse. So I put the Flowmaster 40 on it and it improved the sound some but not a lot.

The only way to make a Ford sound good is to get rid of the cats. My new truck has 4 cats on it!! Ford gets a little carried away with the cat. converters on their trucks...and in return they don't sound very good at the tailpipe.
