Default Check out my new borla exhaust

Just installed a Borla S-type exhaust on my 2014 ecoboost looks awesome sounds awesome out of every exhaust I heard this is by far the best sounding one for the ecoboost. It was pricy at 900$ but for 300 series stainless exhaust worth every penny. I have a solid 2 mpg more than before. Had one problem with the exhaust and emailed borla hoping to hear back the pipe that went around the spare tire was 3" too long at the inlet end even in the pictures in the instructions the pipe is way shorter and I'm hoping it gives me a discount because you spend 1000$ for a bolt on cat back and you wouldn't think it would be wrong. But in all I'm pleased so far.

I like Borla products and their hdqtrs in SoCal is just a few miles from my former turf. BTW, Borla has very useful comparison sound clips (static and drive-by) of their S and Touring systems on their website.

In the end, I've chosen to replace my FX4 6.2L exhaust w/ complete Raptor takeoff from y-catpipe back vs aftermarket. Why? Aside from significant cost difference, I found installing an aftermarket catback system on my former Nissan Frontier 4L created unpleasant resonance frequency inside the cab trapped by the Leer topper/cap on it. So I reinstalled the OEM and sold the aftermarket. Likewise have a Leer on my F150 and don't want to go down that path again. Something to consider if contemplating going aftermarket. BTW, agreed earlier today to purchase a Raptor system 85 miles from here based on stated description. Should accomplish my objective of increased RWHP w/ just a bit more "bark" (but no drone) out the back!

I can barely hear the exhaust in the truck with music off and windows up when you punch it it's loud but no drone or unpleasant sound whatsoever.

I prefer the stock location exit! Duals out the back look so 1990 to me!

Unsure about F150 but adding a topper/cap to my Nissan "trapped" resonant frequencies. In any case - when you do punch it, why would you want "loud"? Maybe its your age and stage of life? If so, I sorta get it. Hey, I'm an old guy...

Disagree on the '90s comment but I'm not so sure about routing exhaust tubing where FoMoCo engineers didn't plan such to be on this F150 series. Just say'n...

The main reason I like the duals out of the back over the stock side is that no debree gets thrown directly onto the tip from the tires.. even powdercoat will start to show signs of wear with mud and gravel being flung at it. but im still on the fence about where to route my exhaust when I finally get the damn thing done.
