Exhaust

Hey guys....
I have read through a good 40/50 pages on this thread and got some great ideas and seen some really happy people with their exhaust systems they went with. I'd love to hear some opinions in regards to the couple systems (listed below).
A little bit about my truck - 2014 Fx4 5.0L stock.
A little bit about what I want - A nice QUALITY stainless steel (I live in Michigan and we get some weather, salt etc.) cat back system. I don't need something super aggressive and super loud, but I want a nice rumble at start and idle. Want it to sound nice a throaty/mean when you step on it. But above all, as close to NO DRONE as possible. I need to be able to have phone conversations in the car when cruising. I prefer the dual tips out the passenger wheel side, but I am not completely sold on that. I just would worry about the dual tips out the rear with my painted bumper. Can those tips get hot enough to mess with my paint?
Here are some of the kits I am looking at:
1. SOLO Dual Mach X Kit: http://solo-performance.com/v8-f150-...exhaust-system
2. Borla S Type kit: http://www.stage3motorsports.com/140...st-System.html
3. MBRP 3 ½" Cat Back, Single Exit: http://performancetruckproducts.com/...ingle-exit-blk I know this isn't stainless steel, but I like the black look too

Yes it is, I have a 14" magnaflow sido custom exhaust, but it's not stainless and it is 2.5" pipe into dual 2.25" tailpipes out, also it has an ugly raspy sound at higher rpms and a little bit of drone, so I'm going to a 19" borla pro xs with 3" pipe into 2.5" tailpipes out with stainless steel this time.

I installed a Gibson 69210 stainless system. There is virtually no drone and it keeps the resonator. IMO, removing the resonator is where the drone comes from. I had a little hanger adjustment initially, but after that, nothing but smooth sailing. The system fits really well on my truck. I purchased it at Jegs.com through ebay. Unless you have really made up your mind to the ones that you have mentioned, take a look at Gibson.com. Be sure to check out the hp and torque curves to see where you will most benefit- that's where you will see a difference. I am seeing about +1.5 mpg, including the Airaid cai. Best of luck with your decision.

Hey thanks for the suggestion ncgator , I've seen that kit,but can't find video clips to hear it anywhere. Do you have any from your truck? I'd love to see and hear it. How do you like the sound?

I've got a Flowmaster/Roush hybrid. I just couldn't take the drone of the Roush by itself, so I installed a Series 40 Flowmaster after the Roush. Still have drone, but no where near as bad.
Since all that, the other day found me at the Roush speedshop in Livonia Mi. The shop manager gave me another alternative to the drone. Apparently, I'm not the only one that didn't like all the cab noise. The F150 guru there has suggested reinstalling the stock resonator in conjunction with the Roush muffler. Well, maybe I will, not sure yet, it just seems like a lot of cobbling up to me. The Roush system is all 3", the stock resonator is 2.5".
