Use stock muffler?
I have a '10 Harley F-150 and want a little better look out of the exhaust. I have had other F150s that I put magnafows and gibsons on but since I use this truck so much on the highway and really don't think the stock sound is too bad (and no drone) I was thinking about getting a second set of the Harley dual tips and having them come out the drivers side. The tips out of the passenger side look a little low so I would like to tuck them up a little also. I know the Harley tips are not cheap but I do like the way they look. What do you folks think? Good look? Maybe $100 or so to fab up the single exhaust to the dual tips on each side? I figured maybe $350 or so total. Thanks

The driver side? Like a si/do with the stock muffler? You could get a y-pipe welded in right after the muffler and run some pipe to the other side but dual tips out both sides would look kinda funny imho.

The truck has si/do already. It also has two tips out one side. I thought matching each side would look good. Lots of vehicles have 4 exhaust tips. Corvette etc. I realized however that I can't just reverse a set of Harley/raptor tips since they have a big welded piece between them. Might have to go aftermarket

Well I went to the shop yesterday and it appears that due to the size of the stock muffler there is not enough room to make the bend to the left side and then still have room for a one into two Y to make dual tips on that side. We tried to price up a Magnaflow 18" and all the parts to do it and it was over $800 and not mandrel bent. Too much for what I wanted. I checked further and it doesnt look like Magnaflow makes a cat back for the '10 that exits out of both sides. Am I missing something? thx

But - if you ditched or relocated the spare to the bed, you could do whatever TF you wanted as you'd have a LOT of room to play with
Looked at Borla / Roush? Would still require some custom routing.
It's a Harley - what's another $800? lmao
