magnaflow or jones?
I'm a newby so try not to roast me over this question (or the length). I just bought a 2000 f150 lariat 5.4 a couple of months ago with a rusted out set of flowmasters on it, which actually broke in half last week...time for a new exhaust system.
Looking for a Single In-Dual Out (which is what's on there now) and don't mind it being "too loud".
So far I've been to 2 places here in Louisville:
One place quoted me around $450 for Magnaflow (non-stainless). They said it should last 2-5 years. Stainless is really out of the question until I get out of grad school in a couple years.
Another place quoted me around $400 for a "Jones Full Bore" system with Aluminum pipes and Stainless tips. Never heard of this system but the guy said it would be a little louder than the FM's I've got now and should last up to 6 years. Does anyone know anything about this brand...I searched but only found 1-2 comments that didn't really tell me much...maybe I suck at searching.
Give me some opinions on the differences between these 2 systems. THANKS for any help!!!!!

Check out performancepeddler dot com.
Find the system you want and fill out an 'email best offer' with a valid email. You can prety much do a clear lo-ball offer like $100 for a $450 system. The site will return a cheap at cost price. I think you will find it is much cheaper than the quote you got above.

Yeah...I'm thinking Maggie right now.
Anyone heard of an Aero Turbine system? http://www.aeroexhaust.com/f150_exhaust_system.html
Anyone have any other suggestions? What system gives the loudest (or lowest rumble) I can get without messing with the cats or running true duals? I don't know a whole lot about exhausts. Thanks for all the help so far guys!!!

Well, nothing against those with FM's, but I'm definitely not going back to them. That's what I've got on it now and they rusted out. Anywhere i go to get quotes on a new exhaust and tell them what happened to my last one, they say "You must have Flowmasters." They sound great but apparently they rust out much faster and easier than some other brands. They sound great, but I want something that will last a little longer. I'm thinking I'll probably go with the Magnaflows just because I can't really find anyone else who knows much about the Jones system. BUT, I'm still open to more suggestions...so anyone?

No, the pipes are bad. They are what rusted through and broke in half...well one of them actually broke in half. The tips actually rusted through so bad that they both have holes on the outside of them...large holes...big enough to stick 3 fingers through. And then several exhaust shops have told me that the muffler is also bad....that something broke loose in it??? There is a rattle. I think they said it was the "baffle."??? So, I now need everything. And since I'm gonna have to drop at least $400, I want to get something loud enough to keep me happy.

Why not just order a muffler of ebay and have the shop weld it on. Why not just dump it right after the muffler. It would be the cheapest way, since it sounds like you are going to change it again after grad school. If you want loud get the cherry bomb extreme muffler or the flowmaster 10 series. The are both a single chamber muffler and will extremely loud. Just my thoughts.
