I went to their site to see what they had for a sale, didn't see a sale but I did look at the single side exit set ups and was perplexed by the resonance chamber that they have hanging off the side. Seems its just the same as an inline resonator but not so in line. Didn't look at the dual systems at all. can't stand the pipes out the back on a truck.
Also, the single system is full length and exits exactly where the factory single does...just with a huge *** tip.

As the saying goes;
Dual catback exhaust - $634
Smile on my face every time I start it up and drive - PRICELESS!!

I didn't see anything for the 4.6 either. I don't know if Bassani makes anything for the trucks but I had a full Bassani exhaust including long tube headers on my '06 Mustang GT and it sounded amazing. Before we received our new '12 Mustang GT (5.0 of course), I already had a Bassani catback set of mufflers for it. I had them installed the first day we got it. Two guys at the dealership said that is how it should sound/come from the factory when I took it in for the first oil change.

That's how much high quality 304 stainless steel costs. Look at the cost of just straight, unbent pipe. Much of it has to be TIG welded, which if you haven't done, it's difficult, which adds to the cost. However, unless you actually need 304 SS, it is a "waste" of money. 409 is good enough for 80% of the population.
I just felt like doing 304 and never having to worry about my exhaust corroding, and I'm in Texas. I've got over $1400 in my exhaust just in parts, and others have well above $2k for a similar set up, it's expensive. The $560 I spent on my Roush/Borla catback was a "steal" in relative terms. I can't even buy a Borla muffler, two $75 polished 304 SS tips, and make my own catback for that little.

Ya, all of our wallets are different. I am at an age and income that I can get pretty much whatever I want. I paid $634 shipped to my door. For a catback that goes duals and then dual pipes at the exit, it doesn't seem too bad. For something that fits like factory and sounds so great, I am happy to pay. I will install it myself so fairly reasonable. Beats the hell out of the '70's when it was all trial and error and all cobbled together.

Yep, hear ya right back. Have had a '06 GT, a '12 GT, and still have our supercharged '92 LX. The Mustang stuff always seems cheaper. Probably more people buying so lower cost. I want that Coyote Mustang sound from my F150 and I have to say the Mach-X seems to be it. I will review once I get it on the truck.
