I just put in a Flowmaster Super 40 SISO with 3 inch piping on my 2007 5.4...I LOVE it.

I went to a local muffler shop and had him custom do true duals with flowmaster 40's. Pretty loud and real low

Love the video, it sounds badass. I am about to order the same set up you have off eBay (Flowmaster Super 40, SIDO, rear exit). Did you by chance order from a seller named magnumexhaust? He is the seller I am going to order from. If so, how was everything??? I can't wait to get mine installed. It keeps me up at night dreaming about it!

ha i know how you feel! i got mine from the vendor "madhattergurl" or something, but i havnt seen him/her on ebay lately.... but might be the same vendor under a new name... great service tho, took a couple of days to get it, fast shipping, my mechanic who put it on said it was easy, pretty well engineered for our trucks, i probably could have done it myself, but he said he would put it on for 40 bucks so i said go for it, the tips get nasty in the winter from all the road salt but a lil never dull polishing wad brings the shine back, with some serious elbow grease... my goal was a good sound, and some shiny tips, that look level straight and the same on both sides, the sound is great, and my mechanic was picky about installing the tips, he made sure they looked the same on both sides... so im pleased with it... cant beat the price too, some people might say ahh the pipes suck, not bent right, blah blah blah for air flow blah blah blah, that stuff is minor to me, i wanted a good sound and look and i got both...

Buy a muffler and have a muffler shop install and bend custom pipes how you want it to go. Pipe size, I would go with 2.5. If you want 3", go for it. 3" will lower you torque in the lower rpm range. Purchase the tip/s you want and have the shop weld it on.

mine has 2 1/4" tailpipes, tips are 3 1/2"... i priced this out locally around my way and nobody could beat 200 bucks to "make" me a dual exhaust cat back system. they would have rather ordered me a complete system and then just install it. hence, ebay i went and very happy with my exhaust

Thanks for the info. Hard to say no to someone offering to do all the work for $40. I am a little excited about doing the work myself because I am still learning to weld and this gives me a great excuse to break out the MIG ha ha. I am also doing it for the sound and not the performance, so for $200 how do you go wrong?!?!

I have a flowmaster super44 1in2out muffler going on my 2006 F-150 5.4L.. Gonna re-use the existing passenger side pipe but the drivers side pipe I'll need in it's entirety minus the tip.. How can I buy that pipe pre-fab?? I found a magnaflow pipe that is said to fit a 97-03 but I'm guessing that pipe is not gonna work for me without some type of serious mods.. Everyone of these companies makes this pipe but they all want to sell you the entire cat back system.. Any help is good help fellas!! Thanks!!

Drive Over It!!
