Has anyone tried a glass pack on a 5.4 V-8 engine.

I heard a 5.4 without a muffler and it sounded like a honda with no muffler.


If anyone has any sound wavs. let me know.

I want the truck as loud as I can get it but I also want it to sound like a V-8 not a Honda.

 

really? what do you mean it sounded like a "honda"? i know a guy with a 5.4 with 2.25" straight pipes (2 hi flow cats, no mufflers) and his truck sounds MEAN! sounds nothing like a 4 or 6 cyl...

 

Was it a SUPER DUTY or a F-250 light duty. The 1/2 ton truck sound gret the 3/4 is different.

I have a 98 f-150 with a custom flowmaster exhaust.

I know how the light duty trucks sound.

 

it was on a 250 light duty. i assumed the 5.4's on these 2 trucks were the same engines...are they different?

 

THE ENGINE AS FAR AS I KNOW ARE THE SAME BUT THE EXHAUST IS DIFFERENT. THE LIGHT DUTY HAS FOUR CATS WITH THE CROSS OVER BEHIND THE CATS AND THE SUPER DUTY HAS ONE HUGE CAT WITH THE CROSS OVER BEFORE THE CAT.

IT HAS 2-1/2IN PIPE COMMING OFF THE MANIFOLDS THEN JUST BEFORE THEY STUFF THEM INTO THE 3IN PIPE THEY NECK THE PIPE SIZE DOWN TO 2IN PIPE THEN BOTH PIPES ARE PLACED INTO THE 3IN.

SO THE LIGHT DUTY F-250 (NOW KNOWN AS THE F-150 W/ THE 7700 PAYLOAD PACKAGE) IS SET UP JUST LIKE THE F-150 HALF TON TRUCKS.

 

well why dont you just re-do your whole exhaust from the manifolds back, instead of just throwing a glasspack in there? a little more expensive, but that way you can get it to sound how you want.

 

I have 2, 2.5" 3 chamber flow masters, on true duel exhaust 2.5 all the way to the back, with the tips turned (bent down) down for high water crossing's, and when you stand on it to pass someone, I have seen them snap there heads around to see what kind of monster was eating them for lunch, and this is on an 5.4L Tritan v8, 4X4, sounds really good wheeling in the mud and snow too. 380.00 out the door, and welded too
