New Guy/Exhaust Advise?
Hey guys,
I just bought a 2008 F150 4.6L crew cab and I love it, but I dont like the sound from the factory exhaust. I dont want something really loud but I want it to sound like it has some guts. Please advise.....

Thanks

Just have the factory muffler removed, replace it with a 18" magnaflow.

Search "CORSA" and look at the posts and sound clips. You can't beat the sound quality of Corsa Sport and it doesn't drone on the highway!

Go with the roush off road exhaust. It is plenty deep and rumbly but doesn't drone once your up to speed. It is just as quite as a factory ride once your at cruising speed. I love mine and would not trade it for anything.

If you click my sig it will take you to my photobucket video page which will have a video of my exhaust on start up.

I would go with Magnaflow. I have an 18" SI/DO muffler on mine with dual slash cut tips. I think the sound is far more superior to anything else out there. Mine has a deep throaty tone. I Love it

Kinda a shock that I actually suggested that muffler, but thats what I honestly feel he would prefer Otherwise yeah my 11" body true dual or a 14" si/do would sound much better, just not as aggressive.

thanks
Darren,
I heard your sound clip and your truck sounds great... I also liked the Roush. Do you think I should go with true duals or stick with single muffler? Will I get any performance increase or better sound from true duals?

Thanks Guys!

single muffler = better performance for our trucks. I personally think it sounds better too.
