I have an 2005 f150 5.4 with flowmasters and 2.5 inch piped dumped.
Will tips make it sound better than dumped?
Thanks

 

With stock cats no. With out cats or high flows yes. If you want the best sound with stock cats, cut them turn downs off!

 

yessss. you have duals? put it out the side before the rear tire, if you can (duals dont allow for a lot of room) or put it out the back each side 45 degrees with 3.5" or 4" x 12-18" tips

 

yes they are duals.
stock cats

 

neg. you dont want that hot air going straight through under the truck. turn downs TURN DOWN the hot air.. :cool
having the stock cats or high flows doesnt change whether or not you should re route the system. out the side before the rear tire will be the loudest but some nice drone. out the back 45 degrees each side will sound very good, maybe about 10% quieter than side exit, but limited drone.

 

ok...thatks i appreciate it......this is a stupid question but how did u make the truck banner at the bottom of ur posts?

 

create a signature on the USER CP tab. you can either make your own picture, or have some crazy designers on here do it

 

Adding tailpipes and tips will better guide it to the outside of the truck where exhaust belongs, sounding better. Adding tips hidden under your truck will still change the tone and make it louder and sound pretty good, but even louder inside.
