Heres a Question

I want to get a better sound out of my 92 F-150 351W. The stock exaust just doesn't sound cool. What is the cheapest way to get it to sound deeper and louder. Without running staight headers.

I know that would sound sick! We have a 460 running straight headers on a wind machine in our orchard. All I can say is "LOUD!!!"

But the last thing I need is another ticket, I just got one for going 40 in a 30 down a hill. A kid at my school got a huge ticket for being too loud.

Summit SUM-684012 - Summit® Cat-Back Exhaust Systems

Well I live in WA, and I dunno what the rules are. If I had my choice I would just cut off that old crappy stock muffler

Thanks for the link too, what is the sound like compared to the original stock muffler?

A friend of mine removed the stock muffler and installed a Y pipe behind both of the cats and then ran 2 pipes out the back with tips and it sounded pretty good.

The summit muffler is a welded unit similar to a flowmaster. It sounds good and is pretty deep.
