I had your same setup with the big cat gutted and sounded OK but not the real flowmaster sound. I now have a Bassani Y-pipe with small cat and a single 3 inch 40 series Flowmaster. Sounds good now.

I cut the 2nd cat off and just have the one in the y pipe, sounds good. But yea Fords are always quite with even the most agressive sounding muffler.

I think the best ways to do it, is either cut off the cats (some people dont like to, and in some places its illegal), or replace them with high flow's.
Once a person removes the cats, you would be surprised at the noise difference it makes (also makes you wonder that if they restrict that much noise, what else are they restricting)

I have noticed this too. I had a 1991 E150 with the 351 and it had no muffler at all. The whole exhaust system was completely rusted away, with only about 16" after the cat intact. I put a cheap Cherry Bomb on it and it didn't do anything to the sound.
The truck I just bought has the EXACT same setup as my old van, but with some super sweet flex pipe clamped to a 2 foot section of pipe that points out the side of the bed. You would never know that it has no muffler.

If your states require you keep cats on your truck. Do like was said get a set of long tube headers and 2 of these cats have true duals made.

Some localities just don't enforce it.
