Best bang for the buck...Flowmaster 3' cat back with a "50" series muffler, single pipe mimicing the factory placement, aluminized steel...about 280 bucks from Summit.
Depending on where you live (northwest) a stainless setup might be better from a durability standpoint. I'm in So Cal, so rust is not a problem for me.

A recent member on here had recently purchased a Mac Performance "Lightning style" set up for his truck (the one that exits in front of the pssngr rear tire/duals). I was trying to get more info about that one but Mac failed to respond to my four (4) inquiries.
With that said... I myself has also inquired about who had what on thier trucks (as far as exhausts) and I had a pretty good response ...so I'll leave you this..

I'll still be
in the 150...while I decide "yay" or "nay" on my exhaust... Happy hunting...

Just finished installing a Gibson Extreme Stainless steel exhaust on my '06 Screw - I wanted a system that would give me factory look with a nice deep sound - I believe the Gibson delivers - It doesn't run you out of the truck at highway speeds just a faint rumble - nice sound during acceleration and idle -
It's designed to exit behind the rear tires like the factory exhaust - uses all the factory hangers even the new ones for the other side appear factory - A person would be hard pressed to tell the wasn't a factory system.
The whole system took about 1-1/2 hours to install - that's pulling the factory system (in one piece) and installing the Gibson.
I purchased it from 4 Wheel parts - $533.00 total and no shipping charges which is good considering it weighs 56 lbs.

I kinda went the other way, went home to Alabama where there's a great exhaust shop in Oneota and he hooked me up with a Flowmaster 50 Series with Delta Flow and all custom mandrel bent tubing for $258, dual exit with stainless tips. All welded into place.
I love the sound (I wouldn't mind it being louder, but my wife would) and I don't get a drone. Hell for the price I paid even if I did get some drone it ain't nothin a little loud country or southern rock can't fix.

How much quiter would a dual outlet rear exit setup be with the Flowmaster 50 series, versus the same setup with a Flowmaster 40 series? Just bought me a new 2006 F-150 SuperCrew XLT Texas Edition, 4.6L, gotta give it some sound now, only have 200 miles on it so far but it's drivin me crazy being quiet! Everything I've owned I've put exhaust on! I just want this one to sound good, but not be too loud in the truck (mainly the backseat) on the highway. I've had 40 series on other trucks before, just wondering how much quieter the 50 series would be on my new truck. Thanks!

So long story short, its got some good sound without being overbearing. I hope this helps ya. I do kinda wish it were louder to let the neighbors know I'm home, but its probably better that it isn't.

I got a JBA exhaust system from truck performance for $295. I installed it myself. I dont get ANY drone it sounds great. one thing I did realize after I pulled my factory exhaust off is the stocker system was stainless steel.

Thanks! I would like something loud, but I've still got my other truck thats loud, this one I want to keep "highway driveable" with the interior noise. On my other truck, no one can talk to each other on the highway. I'm going to check out kit prices online and then get some quotes around town and see what happens. Once again, thanks for the input, and I look forward to many more posts here!
