wat is the best sounding set up that i could put on a '96 f-150 i6, i have considered 1-2 glasspacks, flowmaster, which i have not found to be very good, magnaflow, or dynomax, and which would sound better with the dynomax or the magnaflow, 1 or 2 mufflers, to make it true duals

 

Get a sido Gibson or Magnaflow.

 

i heard that gibsons where pretty quiet, what about dynomax?

 

Yes, they are some of the quitest on the market. But that's what I want if I had a V6. The louder the exhaust, they worse they sound. Reminds me of those annoying Honda's with the large fart cans. I've never heard a Dynomax on a 6.

 

i have true straigh pipes duals with boom tube tips.. on my 87 i6. you would be surprised, its no v8 but it sounds pretty mean.. there would be no way it would pass emmissions though.. if you like i can post pics.

 

I also have a 300 I6 and i need a new muffler for sure and was wanting to put dual exhaust on it...i always have been told that 6s sound wimpy but i heard a friends 4.3l s10 v6 and it sounded alot better than those fart cans on cars. the 300 4.9l is bigger so wouldnt have even a better sound?? i think straight back duals would look the best.

 

yeah i have duals out the back with the boom tubes sticking out about 3 inches. you would be surprised on how it sounds im really glad i put em on.. i was originally going to dual it out and give it side exit but to the rear was very easy so we went that route.. for a homemade duals it came to about 150 can $ i had to buy all the fitting because i put 1 3/4 id pipe.. on cold days or in the morning when its on high idle the boom tubes make it really echo while idleing that's my favourite partof the day.. listening to the old beast idle.. any ways enough blabbing on!

 

i have dual flowmasters on my 4.2 they sound great. i wouldn't put magnaflows on my kids wagon they rust out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's another reason I was recommened Magnaflow because they don't rust out.. Even the guy at the muffler shop said that 'cause they're stainless steel or whatever.. They said Flowmaster's the one that rust out.. idk it's just what I was told, I could be wrong though..

 

i had them on my 86 and they only lasted 2 yrs, another guy i know got 1 1/2 yrs out of his. just my experirnce. 2 1/2 yrs on flowmaster no rust:

 

I like my cherrybomb pro.

its not a V-6, its a straight 6, and right no im running no muffler and it sounds a little quieter than my cousins 01 F-150 5.4, with no exhaust.

 

did you get your new exhuast on your '95 i6 (i think magnflow), yet? hows it sound?
