when I replace my mufflers, I want to keep the same oem sound. nothing louder or definitely not more drone. should I just get the oem mufflers from my ford dealer or are there other aftermarket options that anyone knows about. also if I changed the mid pipe to match the sizing of the rest of the piping, will that change the sound?

Any changes to the stock system WILL change the sound.

BTW...

You can get rid of alot of the drone by extending the tip past the rear bumper cover. Extend them just so you can read the "MEGS" script.

Borla is the best if you want to keep it quiet.
