So I just got my exhaust installed earlier today and thought I'd share. I researched alot on here and in the exhaust forums and settled on a magnaflow 12158 SIDO. With 2.5->3" magnaflowq tips total for parts came out to 110 and some change. Installation was 85 and it was done in under an hour. I still might go back and get the angle of the exhaust tips turned more so it's not turned so much. Also wanted to ask how long would it normally take for the exhaust to get settled/broken in?

here's one pic. I'll try and get some more tommorow



and also for people wondering if you can get a side exit exhaust with existing running boards, they do fit pretty well and they are not close to the tire or running boards. I know that there was also another member that had same type of exhaust with running boards.

 

Sweet.

 

Looks good, I have the same setup on my truck.

 

ive had my new exhaust system on for 4k miles and it keeps getting louder.

 

Didn't Ford move away from side-exit exhaust because it dulled the rim?

i would keep an eye on that, just to be sure.

 

it takes a good long trip running steady for the mufflers to break in.. when i had my borla it got louder after the first 3 hour trip at around 80 and then kinda stayed the same after that.
