Recommend A Cat-Back Exhaust

[Bryan88]

Pretty new here, just got a 2001 XLT, 5.4, with 130,000 miles. The first, and probably cheapest mod I want to make is exhaust. It just had a new cat. converter last month when it was smogged, so Id like to get a new Cat back, like a Flowmaster, 1 in, 2 out. Dont want it loud, but throaty and deep, (I know, that sounds terrible) but I want it to be heard, but not from far away, if that makes sense? Also finances are a factor. Dont want to spend a ton, but also dont want to buy a cheap muffler and 8 ft of flex pipe at Napa! Thanks for any input!

I put this Gibson kit on my 99 XLT 4.6 in August. Fit perfect, has a nice sound. Came with chrome tips. (Searched on Amazon.com and found it for about 350.00 shipped if I remember right).

flowmaster 40 series. but if your gonna do it do it right, single in dual outlet defeats the purpose of a dual exhaust it dosent help power or mileage . true duals make more hp and better mileage and sound alot better. i paid 550 installed for my setup with tips.
