I just purchased a 98 f150 XLT 4x4(first truck) and don't know much about them, but have researched around and have decided for a SIDO flowmaster 40 or 44, but dont know of any good places around here for the work. Most places are asking around 450-525. Is this a good price? I've owned tuners in the past(not sure why I haven't bought a truck sooner) and have never paid even close to that price. Also is that muffler a good one for good sound but not too loud and annoying? Thanks in advance for help and advice.

 

Do the super 444, That sounds extremely high to me. I paid 350 a few years back for my Original 40, Si/do. 2 tail pipes, tips, labor, tax all that. That sounds high. That is a very good muffler. What motor are you running on the truck?

 

For Flowmaster the Super 44 would be a better choice. If the work those shops do are mandrel bent and stainless steel I would go for it. If not and they're only doing the install on your muffler & tips, then look for a place that will do more around $400. If that price is including the muffler and tips provided by the shop, go for it.

It wont be too loud with the original cats. Heres a F150 your generation with a Super 44

Before I got my MBRP I was quoted $300 for Flowmaster 40 series catback. Only reason I didn't go for it was I wanted all stainless steel.

FYI: Had a 99 4.6L XLT and it sounded awesome with the Flowmaster 40 series catback. My first truck. God I miss it.

 

I'm running a 4.6 v8

 

Heck yeah then. Go for it!

 

Do you think the SIDO is better off then a SISO with a Ypipe?

 

Performance wise, Si/so with a Y pipe.

 

from knowing several ppl with ur exact truck and motor, in person the regular old 40 series sounds awesome. ive never heard the 44 in person so idk. but i do know u wont regret the 40. not sure about piping size but tips were str8 out back 3.5x18. great sound

 

hey there a muffler shop by te cornner od armistead and pembroke i for get the name but there next to the Ghetto car wash. I have had buddiesy get stuff done there and they say the guys know what there doing and are pretty good on their pricing. ill see if i can find the name of the place and get back to you.

 

Thanks! I'd really appreciate that

 

sorry i havent got back with you on the actual locaton, but my buddies dont like to answer calls or messages and until they do my hands are tied. But im thinking its one of the big al's chains

 

thats a lot, thats as much if not more then i paid in total for my duals. i provided the tips and mufflers and the pipes/labor was $230+tax. i think total was $410 for everything.

 

Ya...i went to that area and drove around. And i think it is Big Als. I went in to get it looked at and its around 215 to have it set up with a super 44 SIDO exiting same side before the tire. Do you think thats around a good price? Everyone up here in VA just wants WAY too much to do duals out the rear.

 

ahh 215 doesnt seem bad to me but i also just spent 450 on a banks single outlet. everything in va is too expensive tho. so i guess it just matter how bad you want it.
