Exhaust help

i just got a 2003 f250 5.4L

i really want to edit the exhaust, i cant stand stock exhaust.

my friend has a 2000 f250 5.4, and the muffler has been cut off. it sounds pretty nice.

what would you guys recommend to get a loud deep tone? my truck technically isnt mine, its a farm truck, owned by the owner of the farm, but i drive it. i dont know if ill be able to go without muffler or cat...

so what kind of muffler would get the best deep loud tone?

i dont know that much about exhaust

My 95 sounds great with the 25 buck Flowtech Raptor. Not too loud, but has a deep throaty sound.

since the stock pipe is 3", there's no sense in replacing it unless you want duals, which it sounds like you don't, SO... here's what i did on stock piping:

Magnaflow XL 3" SI/SO muffler
Magnaflow high-flow cat
Magnaflow 12" long 4" SS tip

here's a vid clip: http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s...sofexhaust.flv

a buddy of mine had flowmaster super 40's on a chevy 350, which is a different style of motor, but that was super deep.

dang, that truck in the video sounds like my friends with no muffler.

another farmer around the block has a '96 chevy 3500 with true dual exhaust, no cats, and some sort of open flow mufflers, dont know the brand. sounds nice.

which of these mufflers would that be:

^ if you don't get the XL series... which mine is. it's a 3 chamber, which i DID NOT know either when i bought it, was mad cuz i wanted a straight-thru style. it took some getting used to the loudness, since thats not what i was after, but i kinda like it now.

-single offset in / single offset out
-3"
-pretty sure it was 18" long... it was whatever the longest offset/offset in 3" i could find was.

-3" in/out universal cat
-then a new pipe in between the two
