headers

I have a 96 F-150 with flowmaster single in dual out muffler and i want it to be louder than it is. So is was wondering how much louder it would be if i got a set of headers put on. I know they give like 15-20 more horsepower but just wanted to know how much louder it would be and if it is worth it

Headers won't make your truck louder but they will give it a better tone and make it sound throatier. Headers are a very worthwhile upgrade and will make a noticable difference especially if you have other modifications, to me they are worth the trouble of installation.

A high flow air filter like a K&N will help out in the sound department, I'm running a K&N drop in airfilter with the bottom of the airbox cut off and it sounds awesome when you put your foot into it

95 F150, What do you mean airbox cut off? I have a k&n drop in, and that sounds like something i would do

The cats are holding a lot of sound in. You can replace them with hi-flows.
