remove you muffler and you will see that is is not too loud.

do a search for more on using a straight pipe.

what is the worst that could happen, that you would need to get a muffler anyway?

You could try running the cats and no muffler. The cats quiet these trucks down quite a bit.

Here you go.

YouTube - '94 F150 Drive Away

Or straight pipe it. Or just cut off the muffler. Do it in stages; Cut off the muffler, decide if you like it. it's free that way.

Flowmaster Super 44. I didn't choose the Flowmaster because I'm a young man, but only because I know about Flowmaster more than any other muffler.

YouTube - F150 Passing by

It sounds very much like a Diesel. Seems like it sounds even more like a Diesel since I had the tailpipes extended. I get interesting looks. I like the way she sounds. I have a lot of Sound Clips on my YouTube, so feel free to look.

Edit: Seriously though. Just take off your muffler first and replace it with a foot or so of pipe and see what you think. It's not very loud and sounds like a tractor.

I used to have an inline 6 in my previous 95 and I had a 3 chamber 50 series Flowmaster on it. It had a nice deep sound to it but not loud. I think on the 300 the louder exhausts don't sound good. I only like the sound of a V8 with louder exhaust.

However, it is all about personal preferance. So everyone has a different opinion. Go for the sound that you like.

300's sound a lot closer to V8's with quiet exhaust, especially down low. A loud 300 sounds a lot like a 4-cyl Cummins. I know mine does. I don't mind though, I just pretend like my truck is a Diesel. haha!
