hey guys i need some help.. i had a 2004 f150 FX4 and my exhaust set up on that was deleted rear cats true dual X pipe no mufflers and it sounded amazing.. it was pretty loud and it really didnt pop or crackle like you would of though it was pretty deep and just plain out sounded sickkkk.. but back in july i ordered a new 2011 FX4 with the 5.0 and now i need exhaust.. my buddy has a new 5.0 and had our local exhaust shop do true duals into a X pipe no mufflers same set up as my old truck and its a tad bit louder it sounds pretty good but they only thing is when its idleing you cant even hear it and on my 5.4 it was shakeing the ground? so i dont know what route i should go.. i want it to be loudest possible but sound good.. money isnt a issue either i dont know if longtube headers, highflow cats, X pipe without mufflers would sound good or would it sound bad. or do i just put highflows on and true dual it from their and leave the factory manifold alone, would highflow cats be worth it? i mean my 04 after cutting the rear cats off the front cats where smaller than most highflows anyways so their was really no point in buying them lol, and wheres the best location for the X pipe beacuse my 04 was towards the rear almost where you would put a muffler or mufflers some people said the farther forward it is the better but i have no clue.. if you guys could help me out i would appricate it thanks

 

I Don't even know where to begin here...

 

someone please tell me if money wasnt an issue whats the best sounding "loudest setup" you can get.. I thought i wouldnt be a fan a straights but honestly straight pipes sound like complete **** unless its true dualed with an X pipe. like how would highflow cats, true dual, X pipe, magnapacks sound on the 5.0 i cant find any videos.

 

This.

until i see paragraphs i refuse to even begin reading that.

 

X pipe as close to original y location as possible,mufflers as close to axle as possible.

 

LMAO!! Dribbled coffee on meself!

Some people's yungins.....

 

I put my coffee down before reading that and didnt even make it through. Switch out the muffler with a magnapack and leave it. If I had a brand new 5.0 I wouldnt touch a damn thing until out of warranty. I couldnt bring myself to hackin a brand new truck....

 

Leave the cats alone first. The cats on the 5.0 are much louder than the older cats.

I think you will like the dual magnapacks and X pipe.

 

take a listen to mine the vid is in the sig. it's stock cats,x pipe and dual Borla S-Type. i'll give you an idea of what to expect.

 

Just took the muffler and resinator out and put in a si/do flowmaster 10 on my 5.0 and it sounds insane!

 

hell just run it with no cats or mufflers and a H pipe!!!





seriously though, dual it with bullets or magnapacks and a X pipe

 

What he said!

 

Borla + 5.0 =

 

i kinda liked this one better

 

Throw on sum shorties and delete the cats, Gotts mod sum extensions for the O2s, or just delete them too and take out ur bulb in the dash, then true duals dumped before the rear axle and xpipe as close to the front as possible. That'll do something for ya!
