I'm noticing that many of the performance exhausts have dual rear exits. I don't really like that look. What are the options out there for side exits (behind the rear tires)?

Also, what's really the performance benefit of a cat-back on a late-model 5.4L? Will it actually get me another mpg? Or is it pretty much just show and sound on a stock-motored truck?

 

You could have a shop install one of our mufflers (Single In/Dual Out) and have that installed behind the tire.

 

Well, the combination of a CAI and a good exhaust system will help your truck breathe better. With that, you "may" increase gas mileage a little. The big thing you will notice though is an increase in performance. You'll be surprised how restricted our trucks are!

 

Do what I'm in the process of doing, replace the factory Y with a Magnaflow X pipe followed by 2 Magnaflow SI/SO mufflers running the tips wherever you want. Depending where you are located, you can also do long tube headers and replace the factory cats with high flows. You should see about 30 rwhp if you do all that.

 

I didnt want the rear exit duals either. I got Corsa si/do behind the rear wheel. Check their website. www.corsaperf.com They have some sound clips too.

 

Well I don't see my truck listed. 2006 F150 supercab 6.5' bed. Unless I'm reading this wrong.

Recommend a particular muffler(s)?

Also, if I have a shop do the install, what size of pipes do I need downstream of the muffler?

What size is it upstream of the cat-back?

 

magnaflowrep...wouldn't the 16612 kit work for the 6.5 bed?

 

an exhaust shop will do the tips however you want, infront of tire, behind, angled... an so on

 

wish the gas tank was somewere else so you could have true duels coming out before the rear tires

 

Just drill through the tank Shifty, It will give you more clearance too. Just make sure you weld it up real good on the ends! Added bonus:it will take less money to fill up!

 

haha hot gas is always good for your truck to! i tryed to see if i could snake a pipe by put itd be rested on the tank and im like....no if it was back about another 5 inchs i could get it threw safely lol. or if it was a bronco type tank just jump the axle without having the true duels fallowing each other to the rear axle.

 

I wanted to do the same thing, bout impossible without putting a fuel cell in the bed and droping the tank.

 

why couldnt i just put my spare in the bed and put a bronco tank there? extend the fuel lines and move the filler. itd take a weekend of work and id deff mount it and find out if the lines and filler would work. i dont see why it wouldnt...oh the fuel pump i forgot thats in the tank...hummm

 

Could you section the top of your existing tank onto the Bronco Tank? Moving that much weight a couple feet back would help get some wicked launches. It would be a lot of work but with a Plasma cutter and a welder anything is possible.
