So here's my dilemma.
I am having trouble deciding between black or “chrome” tips.
I am firmly decided on the MBRP dual side exit Pre-axle, S5260. I am just unsure on which material to get. I am torn between 409 stainless or Black anodized. I haven’t decided which finish I’d prefer.
I am in Arkansas, nowhere near the rust belt.
So the question…
Is it feasible to go ahead with the 409 stainless and if I decide to try black tips then purchase them separately? Or can I get the stainless tips powder coated black? I’ve heard PCing stainless is kinda iffy. Note: the black system is more expensive than the 409SS.
TIA

Flowmaster Outlaw
Hey guys this is my first post. New to the forum, i installed a flowmaster outlaw on my 16 5.0 and absolutely hate it. Way to loud and a brain shattering ammount of drone on the highway. I realize i should have done more research befor i purchased but whats done is done. Ive tried to sell it with no luck. Is there anything i can do to fix this problem so im not just flushing 1000 down the ****ter.
Let me know what you guys think,
Thanks.

A longer bodied one will usually reduce drone.

Hi guys, looking for some reviews. I'm looking at a Magnaflow 5x8 straight-through oval for my 2005 5.4L V8. Anyone have one on their truck? How's the idle sounding?

I'm new to the forum, but not to the wonderful world of owning an F150. I'm looking to do a few upgrades to my 2012 5.0L and the first mod on the list is the exhaust. I was looking at the Flowmaster 817707 Outlaw Extreme. The price is reasonable, has good reviews and I like the sound from the videos. But it's hard to tell just how loud it is from a Youtube video. I like the rumble but don't want something that is going to wake the neighbors up in the morning or worse, my wife. So does anyone have this on their truck, and if so is it obnoxiously loud?

I just cut my muffler off and went with a straight pipe. Sounds great and not too much drone when just cruising around. So glad I didn't spend $ on an aftermarket exhaust. If you're like me and just wanting a great sounding exhaust and don't need extra HP then a muffler delete is the way to go.

On my old 99 4.6 I had the shortest cherrybomb glasspack with it 45'd out in front of my tire with a 5 inch chrome tip it sounded absolutely incredible.
It had such an aggressive idle and if you went WOT people knew you were coming. It was a shame that the truck was so slow because it always sounded like I was flying when I stomped on it
