Changing to a different Ford exhaust

I have a 2002 F150 Supercrew with the 5.4L and am interested in changing my exhaust to a different Ford (or Volant) system. I looked up two different ones on the Ford web page and there are two options - A Lightning style (new muffler and two exits on passenger side) and a Harley Davidson style (new muffler and split exits). Will the HD style fit my truck? I saw the Volant system on this weekend's "Two Guys Garage" episode and could not really tell just how loud it was. Are these worth the $500+ cost?
I really prefer just a small increase in tone and do not want it to be loud.

It's a pretty aggressive, deep rumble with a 5.4, worth the bucks though for the cat back system. The look between the two you mentioned comes down to preference. The dual exit look is the way to go IMO.


Check out our research guide at the Motorhaven shop, scroll down to our reserach guides on the left nav menu and you'll see the "exhaust systems" link for more helpful info: www.motorhaven.com

Thanks for the quick reply. I actually like the look of the dual pipe/single exit look of the Lightning (and some HD versions) better than the dual exit. I'm gonna shop around for it ASAP.
