I'm gonna get more! I may get some today when I head to the country and let my buddy drive it and I video it. Hopefully the video picks up the sound on this thing.

Our trucks sound incredible when set up properly. Hemis are like terminator cobras. Legit everything sounds good on them.

Man, you aren't lying. I honestly think those Hemi's with the "Hemispherical" head design is why they flow and sound so good with any muffler. Hell, even stock for that matter.

At this point though, I feel like I have one the best sounding 04-08 Body Style F150s in Houston, Tx, hands down! Definitely a one of a kind sounding truck. Can't wait for you to get yours on and see how you like em'.

Thank you for your descriptive input on your exhaust compared to mine sweet. I do appreciate it. I believe there will be some change in my exhaust this upcoming spring season.

Wow guys.
So yesterday evening [Before It Started Raining], I let me cousin go take the truck for a spin down the road so I could really hear it first hand for myself!

HOLY SH*T! I was jumping around all on the porch like a child in the toy shop lol. I just couldn't fathom the fact that that was my truck! I'm from a small town (Well I live in Houston, Tx now, but I come home a-lot and visit), and there's some sick sounding hot-rods out here that you can hear from miles away. When he hit that passing gear at about 30 with O/D off, it literally sounded like every hot-rod in this town all at once at WOT going down the road & I heard it the whole freaking way. Heard it when he turned around, when he took off, when he was at a stop, I heard every burble & gurgle those Borlas make. It sounded plain insane. It sounded like straight muscle cars/truck at the track running the 1/4 mile. I just still can't get it in my head that the lil ol' SOHC 2V 281 4.6 makes that kind of sound. IT was like Big Block Chevy + Whippled 5.4 4V GT500 Motor + 392 Hemi + Mercedes-Benz AMG 6.2 + like IDK all in one. It was plain insane & nasty. Now, both buddies down the street and my cousin want em' a F150. I went around town and down the road so they could hear it for themselves and they too could not believe it was my truck.


This sound is crazy fellows. Very mellow and mean at cruising, but she literally freaking roars & screams like a ape getting raped at WOT! Its like it a switch in those XR1s that flips on after you put the hammer down lol. I'm still gonna get a better video, but it has to dry up out here. I will not be on the road trying to get a video in the rain. All I wanna do is go start the truck up now and listen lol! This is gonna be a sad, sad case now lol.

Remember, I'm no cats though, so idk how much sound your smaller cats will tone your setup down!

Hopefully not alot.

As much of a exhaust law follower I am, if I could get an inspection pass with an OR/Y, I would probably run one.

These XR1 thoughts seem strangely familiar.

I'm gonna be buying an XR-1 to throw on my FX4. I can't wait to get it on my truck, especially after reading your review on your setup.
