Exhaust
I have a 2000 Expedition with the 5.4 and was wondering what anybody suggest for a cat back exhaust. I would like it to be loud but nothing to crazy.
The mods right now are a True Flow Intake and Hypertech Max Energy tuner.

My exhaust was still in VGC so I simply had a shop weld in a Magnaflow muffler. I am very happy with the results, and very happy that it still looks stock. It definately turns heads when you get on it. There is some more rumble at all speeds but it isn't annoying at cruise. I have had Flowmasters on other vehicles and never liked the sound. I think the Magnaflow would be a good choice. The Gibsons I have heard sound pretty good too.

Keep in mind that an Expy is like a big box on wheels (unlike a pickup) so you're bound to get a lot of reverb from a louder exhaust. With this in mind I also opted for a mild upgrade (better muffler) as opposed to a complete cat-back system. I suppose another option is some extra sound-deadening material under the carpet. I'd like to hear what others thing about this because i've been told unless you mod. a lot of other things you won't gain a ton with the exhaust alone.

The exhaust piece I was trying to think of is called an electronic cut out. It is like a normal cut out, but can bypass the muffler.
