Oh, what to do for a replacement?
Since there is little torque gain to be had with aftermarket exhausts, I plan to run the stock until it falls out. May be a while.... it still looks great at 140K miles.
Then I plan to go with a Flowmaster 50 followed up with a race style bullet conventional absorption muffler. The goal of the second muffler would be to squelch that annoying FM metallic rasp and drop the dB another couple points.

I was thinking of the FM50 Big Block. Supposedly one of the best flowing yet quiet. But still has that same characteristic metallic twangy sub tone all FM's have. A 3.5" core bullet won't affect flow at all, but I'm thinking the absorption qualities should soften the harsh edge of the tone.
It will be a cheap experiment as I do all my own pipe work and welding. And I have a long bed truck so lots of room to play.

If a person wants to deepen the sound of his V10. I have found in my ownership that increasing the size of the tailpipe will deepen the sound. My 3.5" tailpipe with a near stock muffler lowered my exhaust tone considerably.
