01 Screw Exhaust

I have the 5.4 triton, and ive been hearing a rattle lately. It seems like its in the passenger rear cat. Its bone stock right now, but I'm really looking to get a nice sound out of it. Not to loud at idle, but smooth deep sound when driving. Should I look to replace the cat, and throw on a muffler, somthing like a 40 series flowmaster? I'd like to do a dual out the back with the tips dumping off to the side behind each rear tire. Perhaps in the front, but I have the plastic step rails on each side.

40 series are fairly loud. either get a 50 series or go with magnaflow 18". you'll get less drone out of a magnaflow.

as far as the cats go. a lot of people cut out the rear cats and then wire in an mil-eliminator for the 02 sensor. it will really liven up the exhaust note. and they still have the front cats.

As far as removing the rear cats go, what does the mil-eliminator involve? That would be my only issue on doing that. Thanks

you can do one of two things. you can either buy them online for $40 a piece, or make your own from radioshack parts for about $10.
