Jdruzik has it... they are really quiet on the fords... hi flow cats would make it louder. My neighbor has a gibson kit on his (si/do exiting behind rear pass tire) sounds kind of like my 14" si/do magnaflow. These trucks are much quieter tho than his tundra.

I think you would be better of getting the muffler and tips you want and then going to a shop or even just going to a shop and have then provide you with the stuff you need. My 14" si/do magnaflow with 4"x18" SS tips 45'd behind the rear tires was $550... Up north where we are this is about average. The magnaflow kits have 18" mufflers which sound nice but are too quiet for my taste. The 14" si/do (part #12198) is a great sounding muffler and has minimal drone on the highway. I do not want to tell you to get a magnaflow over other brands because that always ruffles people's feathers, but what I can tell you is magnaflow is a higher quality muffler than flowmaster. It will last longer and does not have baffle plates to break off. That being said some prefer the flowmaster sound which I have no issue with that all as I like it myself. If you want a deep fairly loud that will not blow your ears off but will sound nice under acceleration and has a low rumble at cruise, I strong suggest this muffler.

Okay that's good then. I was thinking of just getting a side exhaust kit since I could get it from hottexhaust and get the discount but if I can get just get that part and find a decent good shop to weld the pipes the way i want that would be great....did you supply all the extra pipes or did they? Never done this before....always done bolts on myself

I mean $500+ for the kit or $90 or less for this is a steal right plus the tips (not sure which yet)?

Go to performance peddler and get 12198.. should be in SS. My shop supplied everything... I just brought the truck... Starting class now, if you have more questions, go right ahead and list them, I will respond in a few hours.

I plan on buying other stuff from hottexhaust and figured if i'd buy it together he will workout a better price than the blueoval discount we get

I would get 4" x 18" SS tips. Mine are a high quality un marked brand that my shop carries, but your best bet would be the magnaflow ones... rolled edge.

I just took mine to a shop told them what i wanted and they put it on for me. I got a si/do flowmaster 40 series, with tips straight out the back i think they are 3-3 1/2" tips not sure. Anyways, they ordered it all and installed it for me for $200. I am pretty pleased, I would like to get high flows, but after my drive to st louis this weekend im not sure if i could handle it much louder on the interstate.

thanks man. I appreciate the help with the links and all. I will most likely go this way....just have to find a few good shops to do it for me.....think rolled tips are better than the slashed? I like both so its a toss

Either or will be fine, I think the rolled edge's look better on our gen and the slashed look better or 97-03's. It's all up to you tho and np dude, it's what we are here for
