single or dual??

Would it sound much different to have single in/dual out flowmaster or single out flowmaster on an 02 f150 4.6l? I'm trying to decide if it is worth the extra $200 to have it done. I found a place that will cut out the stock muffler and put in a flowmaster 40 for $120, but single in/dual out would be $300. I need help deciding. I miss having a flowmaster.

It shouldn't have any different tone. The only difference will come when you decide where to dump the tips (two on one side, two out the back, or one per side). That can make the tone you hear in the cab different (might sound louder if you are hearing it from both sides of the vehicle, or quieter if its straight out the back).

Well was with all Flowmasters they have to be dumped.....no other options. If I was you, I'd get the si/do muffler and just put dumps right on to the end of the muffler. NO PIPE afterwards just dump the bitch. Make sure you get the muffler as close to the rear axle as you can, because if you don't then you'll have more resonance inside the cab.

Now, if you want a mean sounding truck just put the Flowmaster right under the passenger seat and dump it there. But I doubt you wanna do that on a daily driver. Plus, you're running catalytic converters so it won't have that much of a growl anyway.

What about Lightning style with chrome tips. I had a flowmaster 40 on my ranger 4 banger dumped and it got too loud.
