I need some help decideing what kind of muffler to get with dual exhaust for a 4.2 v6. Some people say it will sound like a pissed off bumble bee. Should I get flowmaster or what? And is it worth the money to do?

 

[sm=welcomesign.gif]I like dual exaust I would go with the flowmaster.

 

I installed a Flowmaster Cat-Back system on my 04 F-150 and enjoy the throaty sound. I have also been back for warranty work and have not had any problem from the dealer. Just wanted to say I had to get one for my wife’s truck (05, RAM 1500) and hers sounds much better than mine. Reason is Ford used 4 Catalytic converters to make the system quiet. It isone of the quietest trucks out there. I am in the process of finding a high flow cat to replace the 4 with 2.
Good luck,

 

It will sound good if you do it right. Flowmaster is a good place to start.

 

Magnaflow makes a good muffler for your Truck, and you can purchase a universal type muffler that has a straight thru 21/2 inch in and out and then a local exhaust shop can build a y splitter and run you custom pipes with your choice of tips. In my shop if you brought the tips and muffler I would build and install rest for around $350 and it will look outstanding. A v6 will sound weird no matter what you do, just don't go straight pipe it will surely sound like trash.

 

i would put on short glasspacks or straight pipes if you are keeping the cat straght pipes if not glasspacks flowmasters are great but cost alot glasspacks are usuely around 20 bucks a piece
