summitracing.com has some decent prices for Flowmaster mufflers. Some places may have better depending on which model you're looking at.
 






I'm looking for the 4 door complete system.
 






Check out Ebay...the mufflers are always on there cheap.
 






They didn't have any for the X
 






jegs, summit, truckperformance.com.... those are all good places to look.....
 






One question though, would it be better to get the Cat 5 system, or just a 40 series muffler? I'm looking for more power and sound
 






I honestly hate exhaust "systems" or "kits". What you should do is just buy the muffler and tip (or just get it at the muffler shop), and have them to a custom install cat-back with 2.5" piping. I have a 40 series myself on my 4.0 with 2.5" piping cat-back, here's some sound clips: www.tainted-reality.net/car/exhaust

If you get a 40, get a offset inlet/center outlet so they can fab up the Y-pipe for it.
 






What's the Y-pipe for? duals? He should only have 1 pipe off the cat into the muffler not 2. So won't need a Y-pipe for the inlet.
 






Shoot, forgot he's a first gen, you're right, only 1 pipe inlet on the OHV. Sorry about that. :p

Don't search for the whole system, just for the muffler. Type in Flowmaster, and nothing about Explorer. Have a muffler shop do the install and piping for u, its usually cheaper then buying the whole system from a manufacturer.
 






So buying just the muffler and then having a shop pipe it would be cheaper than the system? What size piping does the stock Ex have?
 






Stock X has 2.25" piping. 2.5" will open it up to some more high end power, but you may a little low-end tq, and vice versa if you were to keep 2.25" or get some stainless rebent for you, more low-end and not so much a power increase, but some. Getting it done at the shop is the best and easiest way to go. It's all welded together and set and stone, plus it's completely custom.
 






Would putting in the 2.5 increase the MPG compared to the 2.25?
 






Also, whats the delta flow version?
 






delta flow is a quieter sound
