Ok heres a Video of what the magnaflow sounds like with normal excell " and hitting some BIG pot holes!" you can hear the windows go down. http://media.putfile.com/MOV0142360 heres one of WOT in the cab. http://media.putfile.com/Xcal2-0-6019

 

Thanks again.. I'm more confused than ever. It doesn't appear too noisy. Probably most of the noise was from the window but you can hear the exhaust for sure.

I think its just right cruising speed. but when you get on it, it'l let you know!

 

sorry to be a pest matt, could you do the soundbite with the windows up when reaching od and cruising speed. i noticed when getting to od you couldn't hear the muffler with all the air.....so this is my last request....thanks man!

 

Here you go, you can't even hear it. Magnaflow is the way to go! http://media.putfile.com/MOV0142428

 

thanks so much for doing that! sounds great!!! what size muffler did you go with??? thanks again.

 

jims94vmx,
No prob, I have the 16614 system Its the 5"x8"x18 single in dual out from www.hottexhaust.com with the cupon code fordtruck8 399.05. theres also a single in single out with that same 5"x8"x18 for 382.43

 

Matt, That was exactly what I needed to hear. I liked the way your cold start sounds (and looks) , and I'm not worried what WOT sounds like in the cab but I was concerned what the steady drone was at normal crusing speed. I can not hear anything but road noises and the move to 70 with the downshift was great. I don't think cabin drone will be be a problem I will need to correct. I like to play the sat radio a little little elevated anyhow...

I was leaning toward Borla but I think you may have finally convinced me that what you have is more of what I'm looking for.

Looks like as soon as the weather gets warmer I will be getting the same setup.

I assume yours is stainless and there is/was no issues with installation and getting the spare off its storage point...???

I had the 15821 SI/SO cat-back system installed as part of the stage 1 kit from Troyer. I installed the exhaust before the AF1 and the xcal2. The sound is awesome, and with the AF1 it actually sounds better. Send me a message if you would like sound clips of this system.

 

I have not heard a SI/SO on an F-150... Would like to hear if you can...

I had a shop bolt it up cause I know I would not have the pipes stright. it was worth the 30$.

 

Cost me 60 to have mine installed.

 

Thanks for all the info and input, guys!

Those vid clips are pretty kick a$$! Thanks for taking the time to do all those. Seems magnaflow is a good way to go!

After some careful consideration, I decided to just go with a muffler and a nice tip. I ended up with a 20"x6" round stainless steel muffler from Bullet Performance. I also went with a nice oval/angled exhaust tip that I think fits the lines of the truck with the side exit exhaust quite nicely.

I'll have pics up of my final set-up by this weekend!
