Hey i have a 2004 5.4l V8 f150 with flowmasters and i want it louder and thinkin of goin with straight pipe. Would all i have to do is cut the muffler out and then i have straight pipes or would i need new tail pipes and all that stuff. I just want it loud without spending alot of money and removing cats is illegal in Florida i think.

 

Try dumping it after the muffler. What series Flowmaster muffler do you have on it? Welcome to F150online

 

im pretty sure it the 40 series im gunna call a place tomorrow and ask then what i can do to make it straight pipe.Hoping since i got the pipes and all tht they can just cut the muffler out and not spend all my money on this crap lol.

 

Just cut them out and add a piece of pipe where they were.

i called today and they are gunna take the flowmasters out and put in a Y pipe

 

try and get a sound clip when done

 

Yep, that oughta be loud enough to prevent conversation or even thinking..

At some point being able to hear the voices in your head becomes more valuable than waking the neighbors, being the loudest.

I'd be interested in hearing a soundclip too.

Also interested in hearing how long it takes for you be sick of the noise, the constant droning.. LOL

 

lol i wont get tired theres a truck at my school its a chevy with straight pipes and its so loud i can hear it bout 100 yards away just idling and bout 2 or 3 miles away just driving its so loud haha. Thx for the comments though and im thinkin of putting that edge chip in would that make it louder quiter or mess anything up ? Ill try and get one for yall probley gunna get this monday im 60$ short

 

Hey hunter, I should have said Welcome to the site before anything else!

The Edge won't make any difference in the sound but it'll sure make a difference as far as performance. I think you'd be pretty happy with the difference..

As far as your exhuast, until you've tried living with a car or truck with no muffler / dumped / "as loud as I can make it", yeah it's gonna sound sweet to ya, and everyone outside the cab who hears it. It'll always sound sweet to anyone who isn't in the cab.

But trust me, INSIDE the cab there's gonna be constant noise. Drone is a good word to describe it. Not being able to hear yourself think is also a good description.. LOL..

If all ya want is loud for loud's sake then by all means no muffler at all is the way to go. It's just hard to live with for a daily driver.

 

lol with my flowmasters theres a certain rpm when its the loudest and i try to keep it up at that rpm at all times so i can acually hear it at any other times i can barely hear it. ima get the edge next then probably get a air intake then be done haha. But when i get it ill make some sound clips with my cell phone but it probably wont be that good. Hopefully my dad doesnt get pissed im not gunna tell him cause he will probably say its loud enough . But oh well hopefully he wont notice if he does ill say atleast i cant sneak out the house unless i push the damn thing down the street.

 

go with true dual straight pipes, it will sound a whole lot better than puttin a pipe in place of the muffler

 

I agree, I had a y pipe like you are thinking about getting then I switched to true duel straight pipes and it was about twice as loud as the y pipe setup. GO WITH THE TRUE DUELS!!

 

taking out your muffler and putting in a y pipe, i mean do you get a good sound to it i know it will be loud and stuff but is it an annoying sound or what? id want to hear one in person before i got my muffler taken off

 

i just got it done already got some bad looks ill try and get a vid later
