MY wife says she knows my truck is coming 3 blocks away. Well that was when we lived in town. Now she can hear me when I leave town heading home over a mile away. They are turbo mufflers a little quieter than glass packs, but louder than stock. For the Ford I probably do cherry bomb pro. To old for glass packs, the turbos still sound great though. 8)

i can tell you want will get you attention. this looks best with dual exhaust. run your exhaust pipes out from under the truck. preferably the rear of the truck. give a few inches. past just to be safe. drill a hole in the rear part of the pipe just under the truck. maybe on top or to the side of it. weld on over the hole a nut the size of a spark plug. screw in a spark plug to that nut. mount a coil up under there some place. near the sparkplug. run a wire from the battery to a switch inside of the cab. on the other side of the switch run that wire back to the coil. hook up the coil to the spark plug with a wire. i am not completely sure on how to hook up the coil to make this work. you may have to use both sides of the coil some how. but when it is hooked up correctly you can be going down the road. and just before you reach a stop sogn or are slowing down flip the switch and power up the coil under the bed. that will make your spark plug fire. and those will catch the unburned fuel from the exhaust into flames out your exhaust pipes. cool huh? i have always wanted to do it myself. if soemone else knows how to properly hook this rig up post if i done it wrong.

There's tons of kits out there for this now, more than just a spark in the exhaust. One example of many (just found with a google search)

It's for my twin boys, sure they're only 3 right now, but it's all for them! Well, and my twin girls. They're not even 1 yet, but when they are I'll have a pit crew!

A TRUE TONED MOTOR SOUNDS BETTER THAN ANY MUFFLER.

My truck sounds basically.. Like a new truck.
As does mine. I like it quiet.

Thats the quote I was looking for. Mufflers may fool the girlies but guys that can appreciate a noisy truck can generally tell the diff b/t mufflers and a built motor.

if you want it loud and aren't going to build it , I agree with just whackin' em at the back of the cab.

Kinda reminds me of the squids that have a rice rocket and take the center out of the muffler and think that's cool. Reality check, makes em sound lame and slows em down.

On Edit, I should qualify this post. If you want it loud, do what you want. As long as you arent driving by my house at 3 am every day I wont have to lob a beer bottle at your truck. More power to you!
