Ok, Im sure Ill catch some slack but I dont give a rats ***. My truck sounds way better and it didnt cost much.



History-

A couple years ago I was lucky enough to see that LPP http://lpparts.com/store/page10.html

needed a 5.4L F150 to mock up their new shorty headers and if they fit the person could keep them. By luck I lived 30min from him and guess what. It fit. So that is the only other item effecting sound as the cats are stock.



After the headers were installed I had a local muffler shop install a 14" magnaflow in place of the factory muffler and retain the factory pipe exit and location. I could care less about pipes as they will get bent when I off road.



Fast forward to today where I finally decided to do something about that weak *** sounding exhaust, I mean it sounded barely louder than stock. I wanted some rumble but dont care for the dual tip crap so what did I do?



I had the shop cut the factory pipe at the "Y" and run 2.5" pipe to a 2.5" flowmaster 44 and cut the outlet off and flush on the 44 so it opened it to 3" and then weld on a 4" monster looking downpipe to the body of the muffler and spray it all black.



The video doesnt do it justice. It sounds great, and my mean looking truck finally sounds like a truck and not a Honda ridgeline.

flowmaster turn down...blah. You can make your truck sound a HELL of a lot better by changing the exit or adding a better muffler.............

 

Nope. Fine as is.

Video doesnt do it justice. The flowmaster sounds louder than the magnflow. And I could care less about tips and chrome and bling. My truck is blacked out and my money is better spent on guns.

 

awesome truck! well done...
if you like it, that's all that matters.

 

A single Bullet or Magnapack would have sounded so much better than a 44. Oh well, you made your choice.

 

Oooooh it's louder at idle.....and you lost your torque. Congratulations.

 

Sounded like a 4 stroke honda to me

 

i sure hope so but hey it's you'r truck and if you like it then more power to ya

 

Way louder under load and the only thing I haul is a 450R dirtbike so......yup sounds good and its mine. As I said, my extra money is better spent on class3 toys. Of course you wouldnt know anything about that living in a communist state.

All I wanted was more rumble for cheap.

 

i dont understand why people post somethin if they dont like flowmasters its like they see flowmaster in the thread title and they wanna come dog on whoever put one on their truck
yeah your vid doesnt do any justice to it lol but i bet it does sound good

 

Because this is a public forum where members can express their likes/dislikes of what others have done to their trucks.

 

and people with these slow trucks keep knocking on flowmasters while the faster trucks on the site continue to use 'em

 

I think I would rather take a better looking and better sounding truck over a marginally faster and terrible sounding truck. By a Mustang if you want fast.

 

by terrible sounding you mean magnaflow equipped??? oh the joys of freedom of speach and choice

 

i bet those people wouldnt say half the things they say online as they would in person

im sure everyone has heard that one saying fighting on the internet is like winning the special olympics i think of these peoples comments as the same thing

why post anything when your gonna tell someone there an idiot for not puttin what you want them to put on their truck
