I am. I LOVE it. Depends on your taste. If you're looking for a REALLY loud exhaust, you might not like it. It's somewhat mellow but can roar when you're on the acc. I'm real happy with mine, the volume is perfect for me. If you like MF and want to go as loud as possible, go with the 14" vs. the 18".

However, I will give you some quick advice. I learned the hard way. Go buy the muffler and tips you want and have a muffler shop run your pipes. You will save a ton of money over the catback.

My magnaflow was $713 plus tax for the setup, I got the muffler and tips and had the stainless 2.5" duals made at the exhaust shop and the total including tax was $640. Pretty good savings, and mine has the duals exiting out either side behind the rear tire, which you can't get from magnaflow.

Sound aside, how does it convert to the rear wheels? I do love the Magnaflow sound my friends have in their trucks. I have an Air Raid CAI and no chip (yet).

MagnaFlow 16608

I have a white '07 F150 SC 150"WB 5.4L 3.55 SD 4R75w transmission with
31K+ miles. I had installed a Volant #19754 system, http://www.volant.com/idetail.asp?ID=52 and the Magnaflow #16608 dual exhaust installed by my local Midas muffler dealer because the system is stainless steel with a lifetime warranty. My brother manages a Midas shop so I also get a labor cost break. I topped it off with an 1815 Superchips programmer.
I'll speak to the muffler first. I love it. Sounds good and looks good. I had the chrome tips put out the back at a flush posistion with the bumper. As for the cool air intake, I looked around and thought the Volant a good choice. Price wasn't bad and I liked the idea of the filter system enclosed away from the warmed engine air. The boxes intake holes lined up with were the OEM intake system fit. And the air flow through plastic composit material tube helps keep the air cool unlike a metal chrome tube.
As for the Superchips. I'm still 'playing' with it. I 've used the preprogrammed setting for 'Performance' and the 'Tow Performance'. I've not made any manual adjustments because I don't know enough about such programming.

I assume your talking about added HP. You won't feel much; I didn't anyways. According to my research, there are some minimal gains vs. losses you might experience with other brands. Go with the Magna. You'll love it.
