Ford FX4 True Duals questions
I just bought a 2006 crewcab FX4. A friend told me because of some electrical sensors on the truck I can't run true dual exhaust. Is this true? I'm thinking trashing the muffler and going without one. What are the laws in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee concerning running with no mufflers? How much should it cost me to get this done? Thanks for any help, and over looking my ignorance!

Popular opinion is, unless you are supercharging, true duals are not worth the cost. Also, it may have some negative effects, such as, a loss of torque. As far as no mufflers, most cities now have noise ordinances. People usually associate these with loud radios and jake brakes, but I could see where a really loud exhuast could get you some unwanted attention from the local police.

torque
i pull my race trailer every weekend in the hills of western pa-~6500lbs-i went with true duals-2.25" ss mandrell bent-x-pipe as close to original y location ,my tq is 300 ftlbs ~2500rpms- and stays up there till 4300 rpm where it's 278 ft lbs-then obviously starts dropping- now this is on a 2 vlave model-250hp 340 ft lb tq motor-my towing is MUCH better since i added exhaust- i kept it 2.25 for tq retention for towing-my .02$-phil

i don't know about everywhere else but in tennessee there is no muffler law or decibel law.but you can get a ticket for noise pollution.i've never had any problem,but i don't stomp the throttle right next to a cop cause that's just askin for trouble.and as for the true duals,i don't know for sure on an 06 but i'd say you shouldn't have ANY trouble if you leave the cats alone.you definitely need a good x-pipe though.

Well i would bring in my own xpipe and mufflers and i prefer dumped exaust, so there isnt a whole lot of work needed to be done. and i dont remember if he had madrel bending capabilities where i went before b.c i already had a SISO with the dump tip already there. The only reason i want to dual mine out is for better sound and get rid of the restrictive Y pipe.
