just installed a catback gibson exhaust on my f-150 5.4 liter. the exhaust seemed pretty quiet is there a resonater or something i can take out to make it a little louder. you can barely hear the exhaust

Just put Silverline in my 6.0 and it howls, sounds great:) I heard you can turn the muffler around for more sound:idea:

Yep Gibsons are on the quiet side, It should get a little deeper over time but my choice would have been Magnaflow.

I have a 2004 Tahoe and was thinking about a Gibson, but I did NOT want to lose the quiet ride. Maybe it's a good choice for me..
One question: Did the expense translate into additional power?

i did notice some more power, definitly made my throttle response alot better. its a great kit but i want something a little louder.

What year is the 5.4 is it the newer 3v style? The added throttle response gets even better if you throw on an intake. If it is the newer motor use the Volant since you will definately pick up more engine noise which can be annoying. I have the Air Raid and a flow through Spin Tech muffler and love the package. Good luck.
