exhaust questions

I know this should be in the exhaust section, but this pertains to the 97-03 f150. I have an 02 f150 supercab xlt 2wd. I just got this truck and am trying to figure out what I want to do with the exhaust. I thought about Flowmaster 40 single in/dual out, but I don't have the money yet. I was looking and I don't see how dual exhaust would fit anyway. I have the towing package and it doesn't look like there is enough room. I'm mainly going for sound so would just replacing the stock muffler with a flowmaster be enough? Any other suggestions would be most appreciated.

I replaced the muffler, but I went with Borla. There are pics in my gallery. Borla is quite at idle and at highway speed, but it has a really raspy, deep sound when you step on it. It cost me $130 at a local muffler shop for the muffler, small piece of pipe and the stainless tip. With a flowmaster, it would have been $100.

HI fellas,
i have a heritage 4.2, and thought that putting a flowmster (40s series) would give it that deep sound i like, it didnt, its almost to race car for me now, kinda like the local hondas. but i did just put the turn down on and not the full pipe, try it and you might like it.

will a dual exhaust even fit? I don't see how there would be any room on the driver's side between the gas tank, brake line, spare tire, and hitch.

If you go to an exhaust shop, they will make all the necessary bends to make it fit.

I paid about ~250 for my Flowmaster 40 dual exhaust system.

I am also looking for a new sound as I need to replace my muffler and pipes soon. I am looking for a deep throaty sound. Is it possible to obtain stock pipes to run straight from the muffler to the rear bumper of my truck. I don't like the look of the pipe exiting at the rear of my tire. I have a 99 F150 4.2L What do you suggest for pipes and a muffler?

pwgabor, usually they dont run a pipe down each side. They put them both on the passenger's side of the truck.
