Probably a BIG debate thread...

Which brand of muffler (in your opinion) sounds the best on our F150s?

Flowmaster, Magnaflow, Borla, Aero, Dynomax, Thrush, etc...


Let the rivalry begin

I love my magnaflow, but I think a great set-up would be high flows and borla s-types or pro xs mufflers. Bullets sound pretty good as well.

you cant ask anyone which mufflers sound the best cuz EVERY one thinks different stuff sounds good/bad. i like straights and glasspacks with no cats. thats just me. i like loud crackling exhausts seeing as thats all weve had and i live in texas!

for tone/staying legal i like chambered mufflers

Its all up to personal preference, but I'm very happy with how the magnaflow catback system worked out on my F-150...

Personally a toss up between borla xr1's and gibson. Best bang for your buck is custom shop exhaust w/ maggies.

There isn't a clear cut, 100% correct answer to that. Everyone wants something different when it comes to sound, and money isn't always the solution to this question. You may have to go with previous experiences or a friend or neighbors truck. Listen to all the U-Tube audios and maybe you can pick out something you like.
