Exhaust suggestions for 08 FX2

Hey guys just got myself an 08 FX2 screw 5.4 and I want to get an exhaust... Any suggestions? Wondering how you guys are piping it too. I kinda like no pipes... (turndown style)

What do you guys think?

Step one: Take off stock muffler
Step two: Buy 3 feet of 2.5 inch piping, a 90 bend of 2.5, and a 2.5 to 4 inch Stainless or Chrome tip

Step 3: Slip piping into where the stock muffler connected to the Y-pipe, reinstall clamp. Cut piping so the 90 will come out in front of right rear tire. Weld on 90, weld on tip.

Should cost like less than 70 dollars depending on where you order stuff from, I got mine from Summit Racing.

I will post a video on mine as soon as it finishes uploading.

do that but put a dynomax bullet race muffler on there. You'll want to keep your torque

I dunno, I mean you obviously loose some torque from a free flowing exhaust but I think I gained it back cause its tuned for it from Mike Troyer and has a Air Force one 3.5 CAI.

Anyways I don't mind loosing a little torque for the sound it makes. It sounds even better under load, but here is a short clip of startup, idle, and couple neutral throttle taps.

Hmm, well technically that is what Cali thinks, but it really does not affect your emmisions. But yea, if you were to get it inspected or tested it would not pass. But I would not let that discourage you, cause its only about 30 minutes to take off the modified exhaust and put stock exhaust back on to get it tested.
