nice sounding truck mine is close to that also my car
his truck is old enaugh to not have to comply with the emmisions control laws of today as it is grandfathered in so to speak
but i bet he is running straight pipe with flowmaster mufflers

i have no cats on my 248 horse power 4.6lv8 05 crown vic intereceptor
and i in place i have the thrush tubes in place of cats
with mufflers i have noticed more throttle response and faster acceleration thats also because it is an ex police car
in my 94 silverado ext 4wd half ton i have true dual with only thrush tubes i cant really tell a big difference
some will say it robs your performance some say it helps
so i am not to sure of that
i have heard both sayings but me personally i think it helps
it may gain a small amount of horse power like 2-5
and it will help your exsuast to breath better not as much pluggin up the flow
but again im not sure i would ask some others for there opinion abotu the performance aspect on this forum
and if i find naything ill post it to let you no

to shamrock
my car will chirp tires at 70mph in 3rd gear and still has alot of torque
and its a posi track rear diff
to you avoid
flowmaster mufflers are probably your best bet
and i would if your looking for that sound no cats with flow master would do the same or similar i will try to make a video with sound of what my car sounds like and then of what my truck sounds like put it on you tube but its been rainin real bad here and i spent 2 years in south korea with there 6 months out of the year monsoon season i have grown to hate rain
