Louder Exhaust?
I'd like to put a new muffler on the 1993 F150 4X4 I just got. It has an Inline 6 cylinder and I'd like to know what I could put on it to give it a good deep rumble. I know glass packs are good but I heard they don't sound good on 6 cylinders. Any ideas would help, thanks.

You should post this in the Exhaust section so you get more info.
The most often reccommended mufflers are Flowmaster (40 series) nd Magnaflow..... in that order.
they will give you the deep rumble you are looking for.
Now with an inline 6, and stock headers / cat(s), Don't expect too much. Just a little bit deeper / louder than stock.
Browse the exhaust forum and you will find many threads about this.

If you like the glasspack sound, they sound at least similar on any engine. If you run them backwards, they flow better and sound even louder.
I happen to like glasspacks... once i'm done my twin-turbo 500cid swap over this summer, I have a pair of glasspacks that will follow the turbos...

V-6 in a '95? Probably an I-6.
The factory cats are practically the mufflers in these trucks. I had mine with no muffler (5.0 V-8) and it was quiet. Just a tiny rumble you could barely hear. Get a hi-flow cat or chop off the cats and it will get real loud.

You really have to prepare yourself for the sound of a glasspack on a straight six. I personally like it, but it will never ever be mistaken for a V-8! It sounds like a tractor on steroids! But, as was mentioned earlier-If your truck has cats don't even bother with a muffler. It will be really quiet. The upside to all this is you will definitly notice a power improvement. On my 94 f150 I hacked off the old muffler and put a little 12in glasspack in there. Still cant hear it(cats) but it definitely let some horses go. A lot less overdrive/3rd hunting on the freeway.

hey guys, just thought Id let you know my recent setup. I cut off the second cat and stuck on a high flow cat in its place, I then ran 3" to an original flowmaster 40 series and out into a 3.5" tip in front of the rear wheel. and boy let me tell you she sounds good. i kinda wanted both cats off and a single hi-flow in its place but new jersey is pretty gay what it comes to exhaust rules. system put me back about $300. hope this will help. good luck friends!!!!

i have magna flows on my v8 they have a nice low rumble noise, like glass packs. the flowmasters on v8 have a loud tinny sound which personally i dont like.either way you go you'll be stuck with them for awhile.
