So i just finished doing some work on the truck and i got an idea, its super expansive to get the entire catalytic converter with the down pipe, but i was thinking of chopping the old muffler and putting maybe a magnaflow ?

Give me your opinions and advice ! heres a video of the one it has now

I dont think that is factory. Never had one sound that good.

I like Borla mufflers, as well as the Delta Flow flowmasters.

Hello there, your truck sounds really good but like someone said above me that muffler dosent sound stock but it still sounds good. Here is mine it a 95 with a 351w and it has a 6 inch glasspack and the second cat is gutted completely. here is a link for a sound clip

Crawl under there and take a pic of the muffler. Best to know what you have before you go chopping things off =)

I had a Delta 50 with a 3" tailpipe on my last 5.0 and it sounded good. Not loud, but no drone either.
Exactly why i always recommend the DF50. Mild idle, radical at WOT, and no drone, even cruising at 3000 rpms down the highway.

Here is a clip of me breaking in the cam on my 300 I6. Long tube headers, custom 2.5 into 3" scavenger y-pipe, 3" magnaflow spun metallicat, and a borla XR1 oval race muffler. Full 3" tailpipe. For a street vehicle, the XR1 is very loud. The ProXs is a better road muffler.

My personal preference is flowmaster super 44, My sons 95 is running one with equal length shorty's into a high flow cat, rear cat has been deleted. All 3" from front cat and dumps in front of the rear axle. Sounds real good with no drone on the hwy. I would have ran it on my Coyote swapped 93 but i needed a 3" dual in and out and they don't make the super 44 in that configuration, so I went Magnaflow.

Is it up and running?

I had a borla xs on my bronco and then swapped it out for a black widow race venom and even though it has an awesome sound it gets annoying while out in the desert after a while. Just be wary of going to aggressive with it. My solution was to just have two set ups. I throw the borla on when going out to play but run around on my black widow set up when cruising around town or for short trips to the desert

I'm running borla 400500. It has no drone and has a nice deep quiet idle. It wakes up above 2000 rpm.

Love the borla responses, ive also got a borla XS on mine. Idle and relaxed driving is pretty quiet, punch it and it sounds amazing.

I've got a friend that puts flowmaster on everything. Even though I like their sound, I knew I had to go with something different

Borlas are great. And tough. I cut the rusted muffler and tailpipe off my 08 F350 and put a ProXs on. Well it fell off going down my driveway and I ran over it. Found it that night, beat the inlet back to round and clamped it on better. Still good as new. I wondered why it was so loud that day!

My driveshaft on the 94 twisted in half one day (totally my fault) and beat the living hell out of both flowmasters. Never broke through and they kept right on muffling.

That f350 is going to look good on 37s

WOW! alot of people replied when i wasnt looking HAHA
Thank you guys for your recomendations, ill take a pic of the existing muffler to show you guys

Also they recomended me the magnaflow at work cause it gives better horsepower but i think it makes the VOLUME higher

I want the Deep growl tone with out making it annoyingly loud, also not making the performance worse

i like this!!!! whats the model ?
400500. It's pretty quiet at low rpm so fair warning. This is what I have. Talk to summit and they can help you if you want one a bit louder. 400500 is a straight through truck muffler. It's also...29" long tip to tip. It's a big muffler.
