08 f150 screw question

So i just got my 08 f-150 screw FX4 and want to put

2 magnaflow hi flow cats on it

2 magnaflow 14" mufflers


i was going to go to midas and have them custom bend the tubing.


Will this work or is there anything special i need to say to them? Will i need to move the O2 sensors or anything?

Google to find a mgnaflow dealer near you and go there. The thing is that magnaflow puts a lot of r&d into there exhaust systems. Flow performance not only has to do with less restrictive cats and mufflers but with tube design and bend points as well.

Blacked out would be sweet, but a pain to keep clean. White is a little too princess for me.

exactly, i have black on my jeep right now and i hate keeping it clean but i LOVE blacked out 150's

silver is cool but would look weird with black rims same with chrome, i thought about getting the XD rockstars powdercoated silver

white i understand is princess but it doesnt show scratches

heres what looks sexy to me on a white one

Your exhaust plan sounds good, but I wouldn't go to a popular shop like that because they will charge alot for the labor. A regular down town shop will be able to do it mandrel bent for a good price.

As for the truck, Silver FX4s are pretty sweet. Only white truck I would want would be a King Ranch though.

Silver is great for hiding scratches, owned a silver dodge. Silver with a gunmetal wheel looks pretty sweetThe problem with the white is didnt you say it was a lariat? Won't it have the Arizona gold or tan on the bottom? That might look weird with black wheels.

yeah im thinking it might look good, im just trying to figure out if i will still like it 5 years from now


and the lariat doesnt come with the two-tone paint unless you order it with that

and personally i dont like the look of two-tone at all

I’ve been thinking about true dual exhaust as well. How did you go about it. Did you get all custom bends at a local shop or find a kit online? I was going to get the SIDO Magnaflow but if im going to do exhaust i want it get the most performance out of it which would be true dual exhaust. Approx how much should a true dual exhaust system cost?

i am going to get the bends and pipe at a local shop, it should be cheaper.

with

2 magnaflow hi-flow cats
2 magnaflow 14" mufflers
2 magnaflow 18" 45 degree slash cut tips
1 X-pipe

the total is $420


im guessing the labor/bending/welding will be about $200ish

so $620 or so compared to $704 for the Magnaflow kit + install unless you can do it yourself


i could do the welding and everything myself but i think ill just pay that little extra for them to do it all
