Default best affordable exhaust?

i'm looking to upgrade my exhaust but i don't want to spend a bunch of money. i know the easiest thing would be a glasspack, but i want something with a bit more bass and low tones and something not quite as loud. any ideas? its a 4.0 by the way

Flow 44 duals will cost you around 300 bucks. I would go for that.

Straight pipe would probably be the cheapest. But I don't know if thats considered an upgrade LOL. But I think it sounds pretty cool

I got my Flo Pro Super V, single in, dual out, with 2 14" chrome tips done for about 300.

All I did was cut the stock muffler off and had the 44 welded in. Got a hookup on the price of the 44 ($30) and $20 for the weld labor. If you want duals or larger piping, then its gonna run you $250-$300. When I put a dual 40 catback on my old 98 V6 mustang, the mufflers, dual piping and labor it came to $280.

Thrush welded for sure for a cheap nice sound. But put pipes on it. If you run just outlets it will sound like shit. At least a foot or two of pipe.
