Straight muffler swap and switch out the cats for new ones.

I think I'm going with the 18" oval Maggie. Straight up muffler and cat swap....thanks, all!


Been watching many videos, but mainly 08FX4's 14" Maggie+Hi-flows and avfrog's Pro XS+Hi-flows, and I think I'd want something quieter than both of those. Since I have hi-flows, they were pretty much what I'd get.

I just want a nice sound but nothing too loud. Been driving a lot more lately and would prefer some peace and quiet for a change. Have ridden along with potential vendors and two have had the 04-08 F-150s with stock exhaust. It was so dang peaceful it spoiled me.

UNC_Lariat has a video of an 18" Maggie with High Flows vs an XR-1 with High-Flows. The 18" Maggies sounded really good, IIRC. Of course, the XR-1 sounds awesome. lol

Purchased two 94106 Maggie universal cats and a 12468 Maggie 18" DI/DO muffler.

Getting them put in next Wednesday or Thursday.


One shop gave me a ballpark estimate of ~$250. Only reason I called them is b/c they are closer to the new job. Called the place I had it done previously and he said he would try to get me out the door for $150....which is what it was last time.
