How would this sound?

I think i'm just going to go with the Flowmaster 40's for my 94 F-150 5.8L. I have those on my 88 5.0 and i like the sound. Anyone else have same set up? I'd be running duals out the back w/ all cats on.

i have a 96 with the 5.8 and had all the cats with the flowmaster si/do and it was decent but not as loud as i wanted so i cut the second one off and put a single hi-flow up front, i like the sound of it know. I would have ran trues from the start if i had to do over again

How much does it cost to go to true duals? can you buy a set up that goes from the headers to tail pipes? I could do that and put gutted cats on it and some 40 flows...that should sound good

With both cats on and a flowmaster, you'll be sorely dissapointed. True duals will sound sweet, but it is expensive. $300 minimum. I just ran no cats and 3" Pipe into a DeltaForce Flowmaster and then dumped the pipe behind the cab. It is frickin loud!

I'm willing to spend the money for a nice sound...I've looked everywhere online and haven't found any sort of true dual kit. Does that mean i have to have a shop do it custom?

What i want, is to have 1 gutted cat on each side to flowmaster 40's

I had a shop do my exhaust here in Centerville, Iowa. 150 for straight pipes with cats removed, 180 for cats removed and glasspacks. Both true duals with cat cut off and pipe welded on after the O2 crossover. Another 50 for 2 4x22" stainless tips from Lawson Ind and I was set.

Yea, u gotta find a shop...and a shop that will remove the cats.lol. I went to a shop one day and they would NOT even touch my exhaust cuz I had one cat missing! Lucky I know another guy who owns his own muffler shop.

You will have to replace your cats with one highflow or get rid of them all togather to ever get any sound out of it. I have a headers,highflow cat with no muffler and its not overly loud..
