i am new to f150 online found alot of useful info on here thanks. i was wondering what kind/size would sound the best on my 99 4.2? thanks

 

yea, i have a 99 4.2 v6 as well, the best sounding muffler, as well as one of the best preforming(in my opinion, feel free to argue) is the FLIWMASTER, i have alot of friends w/ them, im still working on some bigger tyres, but if i ever replace the exhaust deff flowmaster.

 

as for blow throug on a 4.2, dont bother, glass packs like chetty bombs or other blow throughs make the truck sound rickety, but some people like them better because there good and loud, but yea, stick w. magnaflow or flow master dual exhayse, cant go wrong.

 

bro

 

Maybe a Flowmaster sounds good to you, but it will drone badly in the cab and will cause you to lose low end torque - which a V6 doesn't need. Magnaflows and Gibsons don't have these issues. It's hard to find an exhaust that won't make a V6 sound like a ricer with a fart can.

 

Yeah,if you like the sound of mad hornets install an after market exhaust!

 

My only disappointment with my V6 truck is that I'd like to have some exhaust note, but no way I'm driving a full-sized american truck with rice popping out the back!

 

alot of the guys on another site im on are running mac exaust on their v6s

 

I put a cheap VForce on mine - it doesn't sound TOO ricey......

Can't even hear it running with the stock muffler - I had to do something......

 

I have a flowmaster 50 siso and it sounds really good. Its not loud and no drone, but you can hear it well.

I don't understand why you think it would be ricey? Most rice motors are under 2L. Its not going to sound like an engine half its size. The chambered mufflers will give it a deeper tone than the packed mufflers.

 

I didn't say Flowmasters sounded ricey - but you are losing some low end torque.

 

Most of my V-6 dealings have been with engines smaller than the 4.2, but on a V-6 a flowmaster will get you the closest to sounding like a V-8.

 

Man, dont put glass packs on your truck. IMO thats like sticking a bench wing on the back of a dodge neon. Besides, from my observation, the stock muffler is probably the best to have on, performance wise. Its not back pressure you need to worry about, its more on the lines of velocity. Like stated above, there is almost no such thing as torque in the v6 so I wouldnt even screw with it.

 

ok thanks everyone i guess i will try the magnaflow i have the muffler cut off now its ok but it is a little ricey sounding but it has kinda grew on me

 

glasspacks sound like ****
