Sound Clips?

Anyone have any sound clips of their V10 with aftermarket exhaust? I have never heard one before and would like to have some idea of what I'm getting into before going to drop some $ at the muffler shop. I've been told by a reputable shop in town that the V10's can wind up sounding like a V6 if you're not careful about what you do to them.

Thanks!

Go to exhaustsoundclips.com, click on Ford and there are two V10 clips. A Flowmaster 40 and something else, I forget. I have the same exact set up as the Flowmaster 40 on there. I think it sounds great. Not quiet as deep as a V8, but definitely NOT ricer or V6 sounding. I've gotten several compliments on it.

Mcope,

Thanks for the info....that sounds pretty good. Did you do anything with the y-pipe that goes into the factory muffler? Is your setup a single in, dual out? What diameter pipe did you use?

Thanks!

Nothing done to the y pipe. Flowmaster 40 series SI/DO, Dual 2.25 in Pipes, 3.5 in Magnaflow Stainless Slash Tips exiting out the back.

Mcope,

Did you notice any increse/decrease in low end, throttle response or MPG? How is the sound level inside the truck, especially when crusing on the highway?

No difference in low end, throttle response, or MPG. Seems to hold fifth gear a little better when towing - I have a 5-speed manual. Sound inside the truck is not bad - you know it's there but it's not overwhelming. Not noticeable at all to me at highway speeds. It can drone a little in the 1400-1600 RPM range.
