whats the best exhaust systems for 4th gen?
alright my exhaust is completely rotted and will not pass the upcoming inspection plus my right side manifold is leaking ill be getting Doug Thorley's for those but in terms of exhaust systems what's good in terms of price, reliability, and sound I don't want anything that's crazy loud just something that looks good and has more of a deeper growl this is for a 4.7L V8 as well I was thinking about the Gibson single exit cat back exhaust black elite here https://www.carid.com/gibson/black-e...08&url=1655344
but I am open to suggestions.

Ive got the Gibson and love it. Nice growl to it when getting on it but quite for every day driving.

If your keeping the truck, go oem.
The original lasted this long after all.

If you can locate one, TRD used to make a stainless dual exhaust that angles out behind each rear wheel. It sounds awesome on mine with the Thorley headers. To me it is perfect because it has a nice deep, aggressive note while under acceleration, but is fairly quiet when just cruising through the neighborhood so you don’t piss people off. I researched systems for months before settling on this one, and have zero regrets. It’s going to be be more expensive than the Gibson, or other aftermarket options, but the look and sound was worth it to me.

My Dirty Deeds system is nice, but not cheap. Has a built in resonator to keep the drone down. Not sure how it compares to that Gibson one you listed, but mine is stainless and heavy as a tank. Sounds awesome but quiet once up to speed.

How did you order their system? Nothing on their website seems to indicate they make a 4th gen exhaust system. Love the way your rig sounds and I hate drone. Willing to pay for the right system.

I installed the stainless steel Gibson with dual side exhaust. It has really good sound - rumble while idling, quiet for daily driving, and more of a roar when accelerating/downshifting.

Hey there, I'm thinking of installing the same headers and pipes on my 2004. Did you end up doing this? How do you like it? Most importantly, I'm not real car savvy and I'm trying to figure out if this system eliminates any of the cats. I'll need a shop to install it, and they obviously can't do it if it does. Nor would I want to, anyway.

I have a Walker replacement on mine, much lighter than stock, probably because it has no packing, and it makes just slightly more noise than stock, nothing objectionable and it bolts right up, less than an hour for R&I. Less than $300 when I bought it few years ago.

I highly recommend the magnaflow overland kit. Super easy to install and sounds great!

I bought my 07 V6 4R last year with some Magnaflow muffler. Not sure winch model. Love that it points to the right behind the rear passenger tire and not straight back. It's not too loud and on the highway you can hardly hear it.
In the city, however, it's a different story. Stepping on the gas pedal between 1,200 and 1,900 RPM it drones so much it drives me crazy. I can't wait to replace it with something quiet.

Got the same issue with the magnaflow on my 08 urban runner. I was actually thinking of having a resonator put in but I would have to go back to stock location of tail pipe to do it.
