New Exhaust For Sound, Not Performance
Hey fellers.....
I just bought a new '06 KR F150 and I was thinking about a new exhaust system to "enhance" the "cool sound factor" of the truck. I'm not interested in tweaking for performance.
I've read a bunch here on the forums and it seems most are tweaking for performance.....not a problem, but not my reasons. If I simply and only replace the exhaust with a Flowmaster kit using the 50 series SUV (the 40 series is toooooo loud for me), do I really need to also install one of those FIPK things?
I mean, by doing one, is the other required.....and vise versa?
Thanks for your help!!

Well since you are just adding exhaust for sound and not for performance, I dont see why you would have to add it. its not something you have to add if you install an exhaust on your truck. if you were going for performance then I would say add it. It would just help the truck out since you will be getting rid of the exhaust gasses better might as well help get some more air into it.

Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and ordered the 17418 model.....the dual out with the 50 series SUV muffler. I get this puppy installed tomorrow at TruckNAmerica! I'm really looking forward to it. I also swapped out the factory air filter with a K&N drop-in filter. As long as I don't diminish the existing performance of the truck, I don't think I'll spend the money on the cold air intake "thingy."
Thanks again!!
Thanks again!!

I just had the local muffler shop put on a SISO 50 series SUV Flowmaster, on my 5.4 2005 Expy. Also he put on a 4 inch tip. The sound is great, very quiet but throaty, and no resonance inside. I was somewhat concerned that I might loose some low end but it actually seems a bit stronger. You should really like it.
