I just picked up a 97 5.4 flareside 2wd with the standard cab for my g/f. (Lightning look)

Anyways i was thinking of putting magnaflows on it cause i like the sound it gave to my mustang. But i would like pics of what it looks like with duels and then some pics with side exhaust with the 4" tip so my g/f can pick out which one she likes best...

Or if there is an advantage to either one i would like to know..

As of now we plan on wheels and exhaust... later i hope to convience her to let me tear into the engine... And possibily put a supercharger on it...

 

I don't have any pics but ive seen both kinds of exhaust on the same kind of F150 and let me tell you the exhaust coming out of the rear (not side) looks a whole lot better. BIG TIME

 

go to my pics, there is a shot of my side exhaust. Just my opinion, but do something original, everybody has their exhaust tips out back

 

How about to the rear and the side at the same time?? Like scapegoat32 said EVERYBODY here in RDU has their tips out the back as well as almost all the others I see. When I had my new stainless tips put on I had my exhaust guy try something else than out the back as they were before changing tips. He angled the tips forward to keep the line smooth with the side of the trucks lines. I really wasnt sure on the look when I had it done but really like it now. He has done 1 other of my buddies this way also.
Plus side is it keeps the exhaust from spewing directly out on my trailers I tow all the time in the summer. Do what you think looks best on your truck. This is the 3rd set-up I`ve had and its staying this way now

 

My '97 originally came with the side exhaust, before the axle. I didn't like it as the exhaust eventually corroded the rear wheel. I converted over to a Gibson cat-back, dual 3" tips to one side after the axle...
