I just purchased a 2008 f150 with 4.6 and was wondering whats the best exhaust for it.

also is banks any good?

 

depends on ur preference, me i love flowmaster. I like it loud and droney, but thats just me. Heres a clip of what my rev sounds like. Mine is a 2008 F-150 4.6 as well.

I have been very satisfied with the Banks single exit. People are always looking to see what is coming, but it is not obnoxious from the inside. Sorry, no sound clips.

 

I dont care too much for it, prefer Magnaflow alot more.

 

The Single Exit sounds so good. I just installed mine tonight!

 

Flowmaster and the like is the worse for performance. I'd say my personal favorites for performance and sound are Magnaflow, Dynomax, Borla, etc. I'd go with a bullet style muffler. All of these companies make one but I have to say that the Magnaflow bullet style muffler is probably the best as in terms of quality, performance, and sound quality. It's called the Magnaflow Magnapack.

 

It might have Banks engraved in the muffler, but it's a Magnaflow. The Banks exhaust comes with a Magnaflow polished 6" round, 3" centered in and out. The Banks just has larger tubing.

Unrelated to the thread or any poster, just a comment.
Diesels don't have exhausts, they have chimneys.

 

Are you sure about that? As far as I know, Banks produces their own exhaust systems, not Magnaflow.

 

Yes, Banks does make their own exhaust system, In fact I felt that the 6" was a little too load so I replaced it with a larger Magnaflow muffler. Banks either stole the tooling from Magnaflow or Magnaflow is making the muffler for Banks.

 

They stole the tooling from Magnaflow?

 

i have a question. will the single outlet banks be any louder or have less power loss than the dual banks, or will it be the same??

 

Well, Im not really sure . But , I do know they use the same muffler . Single in single out . The dual Banks Just has a y pipe after the muffler . Seemed a bit cheezy for me . Imo , It should have been a single in , dual out . Thats why I went with the single .

 

I have the Stinger system with the single exit. Totally quiet at idle and really opens up when you step on it.

 

Mine is on it's way i order mine the other day. If you take the time to do research you'll find out that Banks has a sound clip with video on their web site. and if you also search youtube.com you'll find it. so try not to be lazy..
