Flowmaster vs. Magnaflow
I just bought a 2006 F-150 Lariat and am looking to upgrade the exhaust system. I thinking of either a Mangaflow or Flowmaster dual exhaust system. Both have lifetime warranties. The Flowmaster is a couple hundred dollars cheaper. Anyone out there have experience with these systems? Any guidance?

the charts show like 4-6 hp and ft lbs difference, IMO flowmasters sound much better
borla xs outperform most mufflers

Go to the Troyer performance website. Check out the info and configurations.
Borla Mufflers are producing the best numbers and NO one constructs one better - their quality rules hands down.. Magnaflow or Borla/Roush will be an upgrade.
For sound - Just use YouTube and type in what you want to hear, there's plenty of sound clips out there.

Flowmaster will probably be louder, if that's what you want. And there's a reason they cost less than Magnaflow or any other quality, straight-though design.
Flow are baffled in a way to produce louder sounds, you'll probably actually lose a bit of mpg, not to mention some torque. They're also made of cheaper material (aluminized steel) than other stainless-steel systems. So if rusting could be an issue then there's that.
I'd rather keep the stock exhuast than spend any money on a Flowmaster.
Any Magnaflow, Borla, Corsa, etc., will not only sound excellent but should also gain you a couple mpg.
Putting on a Borla SI/SO was the first mod I made and my highway mpg went from about 16.5 to 18.3..
I get about 19.5 highway now but that's after adding an intake kit and custom tunes. So just adding a straight-through cat-back made the most difference in mpg for me, not to mention the growl and howl..

Here's the Flowmaster sitting inside:

Where does the Magnaflow rust? It's a full stainless system.

Since it was mentioned here's the Roush sitting inside on the 4.6 (couldn't seem to find any with the 5.4).
