Right now? Just 1 Magnaflo.
Originally I had a Summit muffler, it was a cheap junk thingi for 40$.
I bought a Flowmaster 40series and developed some engine troubles running the bottle. Had the engine re-done at a local dyno shop and did a few runs. The Owner of the shops son bought an 03 ranger with the sohc and a 5speed manual and ran the dyno after doing nothing outside of pulling the air silencer, a K&N drop in filter and a magnaflo muffler. He beat what I had by 10hp and 30lb/ft ( no bottle, just motor. He had like 204hp on the rollers. ). I had a MAC intake and Hedders.. His exhaust allowed the engine to breathe that much better and the scavenging effects helped as well.
So.. I went and bought the same muffler he had.
Either of these will work..

I use model#14278 with the 2.25 inch pipes reduced to dual 2inch pipes. It gained 10lb/ft at the wheels for me.
Everyone speaks of how their little v6 sounds like a v8 with a 40 seried muffler.. BullChit! Put them side by side and the difference is Night and Day. I deal with a lot of v8's on a daily basis. No v6 will sound like a compression having, throaty v8 endless the truck has a serious sound system and a mp3 playing with a recorded exhaust clip from s REAL v8.

Wow, thanks for the information! Now i noticed you run the dual in dual out. Now would that require 2 cats as well? It says 3" in 2 1/4" out. So you have it 3" in, and then had it come out to 2" tail pipes correct? with the 3" inlet pipe(s)? Any pictures of what your set up looks like? I mean my main goal is to have a nice sounding v6. Not try to make it sound like a cammed 'stang ha. Now typically, since my 4.0 has 207hp stock, what would (ball park figure) i get for performance gains?
Also, is there any benefits of runing a di/do muffler on a stock truck? or would going with a single inlet dual outlet be a better choice?
