Think most people kill the drone by going with the delta flow series.
Im suprised how loud your exhaust is, in the cab.
I have true duals, no cat and generic turbo mufflers and at cruise its like a stocker and when accelerating its still tame...am using an X pipe though.

Where do you have your exhaust pipes exiting??

The pipes exit behind each rear wheel.
My truck sounds like a stocker while cruising, with all the windows down, back window wide open.
I thought about getting two 50 series delta flows to replace my turbos mufflers to give it a little more bark at idle and acceleration but ah, I dont care that much anymore, pretty content.
Delta flow is a line of flowmaster mufflers, they are slightly quieter than the regular versions.

Dang it!
I know turn downs after the muffler(s) or no tail pipe at all, really deepens the tone of the exhaust....kinda like subwoofer theory, slows the sound waves, resonate off bed and ground, blah blah blah, I fought it for a long time, but that last video sounds good enough that now Im looking for my hacksaw. I have no cats, true duals, X pipe, generic turbo tube mufflers. It has a deep idle now, and zero sound at cruise, and to be honest, I cant complain but if I can get it to deepen a little more, well, that would be icing on the cake, Ive been itching to break or do something, so the timing was right.
My question, do you get alot of carbon build up on your underside/axles, etc. or does it seem to disperse fairly well? Where exactly does your muffler/exhaust end? No turn down correct? I dont drive my truck much at all, so if you could tell me how often you drive and your thoughts, Id appreciate it.

I responded to your last exhaust videos but the moderator moved my response to this thread.
I was wondering where your exhaust is ending/ how far back is it ran?
I noticed my mufflers are side by side and end right about where the rear fender opening begins, curious if its simillar.

well, it was exiting in from of the rear tire with a tip for over a year. all i did was remove the tip and stick the muffler there LOL. the last one was a SI/DO mangnaflow so it had DO to help the tone.
didnt blacken the tire or body any and when i had turndowns years ago before headers it was obnoxious.

I hacked the tail pipes off mine yesterday.
Both mufflers end right about where the rear fender opening begins.
Sumbitch is loud, interior resonance is nuts. Id gotten used to no interior sound, especially at cruise, now im constantly reminded theres an engine.
Think im gonna try and run a couple 90's out in front of the tire. I think it sounds great now, as compared to before but, just a wee bit on the excessive side.
I know its not possible to really pick up the low sounds on a cam but I think mine and the magnaflow dual out, sound alot alike. One think I notice, is when I rev mine at idle, it tends to get quieter, I think the X cancells out some noise...although...if you get it up in the rpm, that sucker lets out a crazy shrill of a sound....haha...

I lucked out.
I liked the sound of the no pipe(s) after the mufflers but it was loud as hell and the drone at cruise was nuts.
I took two 45degree pieces of pipe and installed them on the end of the mufflers.
The end of the 45degree pipe, when installed, ends about 3 inches in front of the rear axle, and is just below the lower part of the axle tube. Visually, the tire(s) hide the turn downs from the side and from the rear the axle tube covers them enough that its not obvious, which I like.
Wish I woulda done this years ago. The idle has a nice deep tone. From second gear up, when I accelerate you cant really hear much of anything, this is due to the X pipe. However, when I engage the clutch to shift gears, I get this deep feedback from the mufflers...very nice...
....at cruise speeds, I do get some drone/resonance in the cab, however, its mild, the drone is extremely sensitive to engine load, if i barely ease off the go pedal, the resonance goes away completely...I toyed around with it, it worked much like an "audible vacuum gauge"...another plus. Wish I woulda done this years ago.

Ok, here is my sloppy, rigged up exhaust... ready to take it to the shop and get the real one put on. Figured I'd post a clip of how the Flowmaster sounds on it, and I have to say, it ain't bad... 
YouTube - Ford 300 I6 Modded w/Flowmaster
Specs:
1980 Ford F100 Flareside - 300 I6 (dur
)
- Stock cam, EGR & A.I.R. Pump deleted
- Holley 470 Truck Avenger
- Offenhauser C-Series w/ 2 inches of carb-spacer
- Hedman Header
- Dual 2 inch pipes from collectors
- Cat-less
- Flowmaster 40 series (2 into 1) with 3 inch exit, dumping behind rear of the cab.
High idle ~850-900 RPM, Revving to 3400 RPM, and Idle with Load at ~500 RPM

Your 300 sounds like it has a racing cam??
You have the 10 series Flowmaster, not the 40.

YouTube - Snow plowing Gone Wrong I know, I know, sorry to waste yer time with my sound clip.
Your sound clip was one of the first I heard that really got me wanting to mod my exhaust -so I can blame you for all the money I put out.
I do love the way your truck sounds. What did you do to it to make it sound like that?
Carb'd 300's just sound better than EFI's for some reason.

pre egr YF carb, stock intake, efi exhaust, walker downpipe, 2.5" exhaust running out behind the rear wheel with thrush cheapy turbo muffler. Nothing real fancy. It's got 250,000 miles on it, so maybe it's aged like an old acoustic guitar, lol.
Maybe with the bronco wheelbase, the pipe length is pretty short, and the sound is affected by that?
