thats like asking which nationality is the hottest. its really a preference thing on what materials you'd like it to be made out of and how much ur lookin to spend. the go for what you think sounds good. check out the exhaust thread...lots of options there

Personally, I think any header, a catted H-Pipe and Flows is the best 5.0 exhaust sound. But it depends on what tone you are looking for. An X-pipe will yield a more sharper exhaust tone while the H-pipe will sound deeper, like a muscle car. Both of my 5.0's sound completely different from one another(one is BBK shorty headers, BBK catted H-pipe and Flows)(other is summit shorty headers, Magnaflow catted X-Pipe and Pypes catback)

The best exhaust is the one that you think sounds the best. Listen to different midpipe and muffler combos and decide what you like.

haha fo sho

i've heard HORRIBLE exhaust that dudes thought was the **** (gm products that sound like boats with their single flowmaster)

but imo, you can't go wrong with flowmaster 2 chamber system or the MAC kit, they are VERY similar to me, i've had both

fyi i would never do shorty or stubby headers.. long tubes or don't bother

No bolt on sounds best. Need a custom set up.
