Two weeks ago I got a 2-chamber Flowmaster 40 Series, single in, dual out muffler with 2 3" chrome echo tips. It sounds really, really nice. At idle there is a good, low rumble, that just gets louder and louder. I wouldn't want my exhaust any louder, because on the freeway you do constantly hear this unless the radio is up. Total price w/installation was $411.
Mine is a 2004 F-150 STX Supercab.

wow please dont go Flowmaster. go with Magnaflow and bypass the nasty loud drone and youll gain power not lose as with Flowmaster. i did my setup for $200 i added a muffler and since your truck is new and the piping is stainless steel you should keep your stock piping and add a nice 3.5" tip

Don't expect to gain or loose for that matter any horsepower from just a muffler. In most cases if you increae the size of the exhaust without doing anything to increase engine air intake you are going to loose power reguardless of what brand muffler you use.
rg-homer,
If your only looking for better sound and don't plan on doing anything to the engine then almost any aftermarket muffler will make any V8 sound better. I personally have liked the sound of Flowmasters on every vehicle I've ever heard them on... my 2nd choice would be DynoMax. I would change just the muffler and add a nice tip or install a complete cat-back system from a known company.
People who goto their local exhaust shop with their stock vehicle and tell them they want custom 3" exhaust are the ones loosing power. It's not something you'll have to worry about if your smart about it.
Obviously the cheapest route is to just change the muffler.

As long as the Y-Pipe is still in place, that will be the biggest bottle neck in the exhaust system regardless of which muffler you put on. If you install a "true dual" system (and/or headers) without intake mods, such as a super charger, you could experience a power loss. Simply replacing the muffler would be less restrictive and should provide a few extra horses. I have no idea personally which brand provides more power.
