I was with it dumped.

But i wanted tips back, a cleaner look and that made it more quiet. My truck also is getting smogged this summer since it turns 5 years old, so i put the rear cats back on. That really made it more quiet. The Roush sounded friggin awesome, but i want louder. I put the flowmaster back on for now, but i think im going to switch to a pair of bullets after i get the lift on.

Oh sweet. Well if your selling the Roush muffler I bet it wont take too long since everyone wants one. Feel any performance lag with the Super 44 back in?

meh not really. A muffler swap isnt going to net huge power changes, especially with custom tuning like i have. But i also baby it around town since gas is so high, if i drove it hard maybe i'd notice a difference.

Ah ok. I'll be needing a custom tune after my exhaust. Might look into the AEM, AF1, or S&B intake units also. Any recommendation for a good tune?

Since you live in PA, my suggestion would be for you to drive down to Troyer Performance (a couple hours) and get Dyno Tuned. It is the best possible tune your F150 can get, period. The drive will be well worth it. Go with the 3.5" AF1 intake, since you'll be right on the Dyno, Mike will tune it perfectly and you'll get maximum power.

Same here. I'm dieing to get exhaust done. Anxiously waiting for the track number. Since Summit Racing is out of stock and my experience with Performance Peddler wasn't that great, I bought from Performance Curve again ( bought my Chevys exhaust components through them with great transactions ). I should have the mufflers by Thursday the guy stated. If so, the following Monday may be install day. None the less it should be done within a week or two. Gonna be 2.5" true duals H piped with the 11" Magnaflows, 45ed behind tire exit with 4x18 rolled Magnaflow tips.

Later on I will be getting the two hi-flow cat system, gotta get my exhaust guy to agree to doing the work first.

Troyer Performance is in PA? Thats awesome where at?? So 3.5" AF1 would be good for me over the AEM and S&B? Ok then i'll add that to my list of stuff to look into. Thanks for the information.

They are located in Northern VA, only a few hours from you. The 3.5" AF1 is great because a Dyno tune allows the tuner to tune for it perfectly, otherwise that intake tends to be sketchy with mail order tunes.
