My step-dad just gave me his 2002 F150.. it was his work truck.. BASE MODEL EVERYTHING.. BUt im gonna change that!!!!! i want exhaust first.. then tires/lift and im gonna need some help, im new to the whole "MODS" thing.. help me out.. what should i buy exhaust wise.. and where do i get and whats best way to get it installed.. i dont plain on doing most the work myself... so anything will help, thanks in advance guys!!!! look forward to shwoing pics as this BASE TRUCK advances!

 

welcome to the site
Congrats on the new for you truck

The exhaust will depend on how loud you want to be as well as performance. I'm going with a Magnaflow catback myself. Do a search or three, you'll come up with some excellent ideas..

 

Welcome ! What type of sound, price, and configuration are you looking for?

 

thanks guys, i forgot to put what i was looking for.. i want def loud but legal cuz i dont want to have to deal with North Carolina inspections every year... but i want to also improve gas milage and HP/performance.. dual exhaust pipes look the coolest too.. can i get something of this under 300 bucks?


thanks

 

The majority of "do it yourself kits" run for anywhere from 350-700, Depending on Brand and type of Setup. Most shops that use their own parts usually charge around 400. I personally just had a dual exhaust setup put on up here in alaska and it cost me about 550.00. And, now im regretting not going with the magnaflow muffler, so in all and all, save up for the right thing. I was just trying to get a short cut cause I heard from a few guys they did good work. Piping is nice, but the muffler they used was crap. I also have 4 cats on my truck so it makes it even funner. Just take a look on google for "magnaflow, flowmaster, borla, gibson" and see what online prices ya get. It will atleast give ya an idea on the price your looking at.

 

thanks guys

 

I had a single in dual out flowmaster 40 Delta Flow series muffler with the wide oval stainless tips put on my truck for $320 included tax.

The System sounds awsome and looks great!! There are other systems out there it all depends on how much you want to spend.

As far as your free F150, I wish I had a Dad like yours, He should be getting a real great B-Day present, Christmas and Father Day gift on the next go round and father of the year!!

Good Luck.

 

Heh, notice the price hike from the lower 48 to Alaska. I was going to order that magnaflow si/do from troyerperformance, but the 140.00 shipping to Alaska just wasnt going to cut it. :P

 

i talked to some of the local guys and they say flowmaster is the best for an F150! so i think im leaning towards that....

ya the free f150 is nice.. i've done a lot of stuff for them so they rewarded me :-P


thanks for your help guys!

I put a Flowmaster 40 series Delta Flow on mine and I love it. Great sound outside, very little inside. I think the only reason I hear it inside at all is that I exited the pipes before the passenger wheel. I have to roll down the windows to appreciate the sound.

 

what would ya'll suggest b/t the super 40 and the delta flow 40.
I have an 02 f150 single cab flareside. 4.6L. I want to run dual pipes straight out the back with either the super or delta flow 40. Also, what size i/o do I need. I know I need/prefer the offset inlet, but other than that I don't know.
