Hey Guys,

First Ford ever. Long time Chevy guy converted recently.

Truck specs.

2006 F-150 5.4L 3v

30,000 miles


I've read a TON of information here about exhausts, and I think I've made up my mind. Basically it seems DarrenWS6 throws most of the info around in here and knows his stuff. His truck sounds awesome too!

I'm looking for some sound improvement mainly. I don't want it loud but don't want it quiet either.

I'm thinking the 18" body is what I want.

I have two part numbers though, and I'm not sure what is right. 12256 or 12586?

Also how much am I looking to spend for a new tail pipe? Perferably stainless as that's better then aluminized and whats on the truck currently? I'm thinking si/so but having it come out at more of an angle then stock with a tip.

Also what tip size is recomended? Stainless there too or is Chromed alright?

Thanks for any help!!!
