A lot of people on this forum are happy with the Magnaflow system. You should have gains in hp and torque. As far as gas mileage, I dont think there is much you can do with these trucks to get gains in this area.

on my 05 I went with a magnaflow system. I had the flowmasters on my 04 and I did not like them " 40 series", and the flowmaster started to rust after 8 months, just check out magnaflow I think they claim like 11 hp or so, I have a bunch of mods and I get 19 mpg hwy.

I got mine from www.hottexhaust.com with the cupon code fordtruck8

Hi.

The term "Flowmaster performance" is an oxymoron... y'know, like "rush hour" .

Here's my well-used, standard answer to your questions:

Call Mike - and just ask him for some advice - it won't cost you anything...

Hope this helps.

Cheers

If you want maximum results from a catback then you will need the a SISO. I have the the Magnaflow 15821 SISO on my 04 and I love it.
