I am looking for advice on what type of exhaust system i should get for my car. i have a 2000 F150 Lightning and I am looking at a few cat-back exhaust systems. I am having trouble deciding between the gibson cat-back, flowmaster, or magnaflow. I want somthing pretty loud, that you people can hear when you drive by, but also something that I can feel a little extra power. If you guys could give me some advice or any info that could help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks.

It's all about the bassani exhaust. Come to one of our meets, you can here different cars.
If I had your truck, I wouls do a full bassani exhaust.

Out of those 3 that you mentioned I would pick the Magnaflow. Otherwise Borla or like Brian said, Bassani (can't remember if they make an exhaust for the Lightning).

Damn Marc where did you get that stolen mod I want that. Just kidding man, I know Borla gaurantees 10 rwhp from their cat-back but it runs really expensive like around $600. Bassani is the shit though. That's what I'd tell you to go for but since when have you ever listened to me. If I was you I'd look at that article Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords had a few months back that said the top 35 things you should do to a lightning to make it faster. Good luck.

I have heard a lot of positive comments about the magnaflow and I read that it is supposed to give you sumthin like 20 hp and ft/lbs of torque. I went to a muffler shop around here and they all told me to go with the flowmaster exhaust, but I am tired of all the same old flowmaster. I wanna try something new. Also when is the next meet so I can here some of these exhaust systems. Thanks for your info guys. Late

I agree, full Bassani....Bassani cat back has dual mufflers to make it a real true dual system.....Do it right the first time.

MaxThunder89,

Bassani sounds the best hands down. None of the catback systems give much if any of a power increase.
