Well im in the same situation as your are just bought a 93 F150 reg cab long box i also have the 351 and looking to do the same thing i think im going to go to a muffler shop get a estimate and get duals maybe glasspacks with big piping and chrome tips bigger the pipes more louder i believe take off the cats and put in flowmaster 40's or just take the cats out and leave them that increases the sound by a lot taking cats off so you can either go to a muffler shop which would be more expensive or do it yourself but with the gas mileage of the truck dont know if ill afford it lol i hope

don't discuss violating laws (removing the cats)

anyways, I run a single in, dual out on my truck with 2.5" piping (1994 F-150 longbed single cab with 302/5 speed) and no exhaust tips. cost me about $400 at Midas for all the piping and muffler

it's plenty loud in the cab with the windows up and sounds nice while engine braking. however, you can put a 3" or bigger tip on and it'll be louder than you might want.

I remember when I was 16 and had a Chevy with a 383 stroker and headers and 3" pipes (cop baiters). I could make a car shake when I went by. Fun for sure, but made me get headaches and put my nerves on edge when I had to drive it more than about 20 miles. Just a word of caution.

Loud is nice, but at some point too loud and can also get you a ticket.

try posting in either the exhaust forum or the 1987-1996 trucks forum. you will probably get more feedback
