My brother has an 02 f-150 with the 5.4. I had to drive a few time this week while fixing mine, and noticed it had an exhaust leak. So I went under there and the muffler has holes in it. So what muffler would sound good in place of the stock one?

 

Just run a piece of straight pipe...cheap and it sounds nice.

 

i have Flo-Pro mufflers on mine...not sure what model..they came on the truck when i got it........and i love them!....my friend also has Flowmaster 40 series...and they sound nice to.

This straight pipe idea, it doesnt get raspy or anything does it?

I was thinking of flowmaster also, is it a Super 40, or original 40 that sounds good? I know the original 40 sounds good on my buddies 5.0 f-150.

 

I have a Dynomax Super Turbo and it sounds great. Was a little muted though with the stock cats, now with 2 high flow magnaflow cats and the Dynomax it sounds great!

 

I have a no muffler on my truck(cut it off right before org. muffler) and it almost sounds like a 40 series.

-Free
-Easy to do
-Sounds pretty good
Dislikes:
-sometimes when you rev it up high and when it idles back down it "Cackles" a little bit, but not enough to make me regret doing it
If you want, cut it off, and if you dont like it go get a 40 series.

 

no muffler sounds great, not raspy at all, great deep rumbly, least on my 2000 it did...but if your gunna go with a muffler check out the spintech sportsman split case, its a great sounding muffler, sounds different than the flowmasters, good different

 

Yeah no muffler is loud and is quite raspy and cackles i have flowmaster 40s and i love them i rev it up a bit and it cackels when the rpm guage is coming back down to idle

glasspacks are similar snappy raspy quite loud sounds good

depends how loud and the sound your lookin for i guess

 

Ill just take the muffler off and straight pipe it. If its too loud, ill get him a 40 series flow. Thanks guys!

 

You can borrow my truck any time you want! But my exhaust leak is up at the manifolds

 

I replaced my stock muffler with a Flowmaster (local shop did the swap for 130 cash installed). Sounds pretty good.

 

My son went with the straight pipe and it sounds pretty good. I also need a new muffler since mine has a hole in it and I will be going with the quietest muffler I can find. I used to like it loud but after raising 3 sons and listening to my wife it's great to be somewhere quite.

Yes sometimes quite is nice, as for a muffler i would not go straight pipe on it. sounds like hitting a cat with a paddle.

 

He messed his knee up playing football, so hes gotta have surgery now. This give me about a month to fix it now lol. I hate working on that truck, I need to jack it up to get under it, unlike mine.
