What type of Muffler?

[a_leggio]

99 XLT...stock muffler is going and sounds TERRIBLE...What muffler do you guys recommended? I want something that sounds decent but not overkill...Thanks!

This is very subjective, but....

I like my Hooker Aerochamber; nice tone,
no drone, just a bit louder than stock.

V6 or V8?

The Cherry Bomb is pretty good even though it's low in price. Check the product review section for more details.

Its a v6...I was thinking about the Edelbrock Muffler.

 

[CHEESYPOOFS]

for a V6 personally i like the flowmaster 50 delta flow. it sounds mean but still has enough back pressure so u dont lose to much throttle response.

or if your looking for something a bit cheaper you can just get a MAC catback system (http://www.explorerexpress.com/exhaust-catback-aluminized-9799-explorer40-sohc-p-339.html) I have one on my 5.0 and it sounds like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhG7lL4zOqY) but then mines a V8 so yours will sound a bit more raspy than mine.

with all the cats it will sound kinda ricey, so your gonna want to try somethin with a really deep tone, to try to cancel that noise from the cats.

Thanks to all! But Rileyrs....what will cancel out that sound in your opinion?

Alright guys so which do you think? Super 40 Series or 50 Series Delta Flow?

 

[CHEESYPOOFS]

50 delta flow definately

I've had the 40 series delta flow for about 7 years now. I love it. used a single 2.25" tailpipe, so as to not lose torque with duals or a fatter tailpipe.

Another big part of why i say the 50 series is IMO the 40 series is too free flowing and makes it sound a bit ricey

Just had a Flowmaster 50 series welded on behind the 3 cats my 4.0 sohc to replace the stocker that had 153,000 miles on it. Mine was a single offset in/single center out, and couldn't be happier with the sound. Very-very quiet at idle, very mellow tone under acceleration, depending on how heavy your foot is, even under heavy acceleration sounds great, not too loud. I was afraid there would be the "drone" at hwy speed but was very happy when it was very minimal.
