2001 F250 5.4 ...need help with a complete exhaust
Hi Guys, sorry for the newb thread but I have not been able to find an answer through a few hours of searching this and other forums.
My Girl friend has a 2001 F250 2wd with a 5.4 Living in the midwest its basically falling off from rust. Needs to be replaced from the engine allllll the way back.
Everywhere I search though I cant seem to find a complete exhaust specifically for a 5.4 F250....lots of f150 stuff. I want long or short tubes..a Y, and a catback.
I found this....http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-Catted-Exhaust-Header-99-03-Ford-F150-Triton-5-4L-/160410727027?vxp=mtr&hash=item2559397273
But I dont know if this will fit an F250. And if it does.. will it bolt up to a stock catback?
Can someone point me in the right directions please. Thanks!

Don't buy a complete exhaust. Buy it in pieces then have a reputable exhaust shop run the piping. It'll be cheaper and they can run it how you want it. I would suggest long tube headers, Maggy high flows, Maggy 2.5" to 3" y-pipe, then single exhaust to "muffler of your choice (Borla), then exit of your choice.
I suggest some kind of stainless. I live in the Midwest and I don't have it and my exhaust is starting to rust pretty good after 3 years.

This gets thrown around a lot and makes no sense. Mandrel bent 304 or 409 Custom exhausts are not cheap. I don't mean it in an attacking way, but to get a custom exhaust made the same way as a kit in my area is a lot. That's why my new exhaust has been on hold. 1700 or so all together, good work and parts ain't cheap.

I'm working as much as I can... Saving for school and a dew truck fixes. If all goes well late August ... I'm praying. I swear this is gonna be one of the most amazing exhausts ever done to this motor. The dodge cats are gonna unleash some more sound I think

I guess to make the ss custom exhaust cheaper would be to not get mandrel, but then you run the risk of having an elbow crushed to small.
From personal experience I had 2.5" non mandrel run on my exhaust and in multiple locations it was crushed down to 2" or smaller.

I've never actually had a ss exhaust made so I guess I'm just going off of what I read on here for that part. But area does have to do with pricing. Every area is different.
