Not sure if that's going to work or not. She's running like a raped ape.

Exhaust
I have a 94 F150 XLT 5.0L engine and I just purchased a flowmaster muffler and tips. The muffler is a Super 40 series SI 3" / DO 2.5"
Before I purchased the muffler I measured the exhaust where the end of the collection pipe ends and got roughly 3" This is where I wanted my local shop to install the new flowmaster muffler.
Has anyone else measured where the collection pipe ends and do you get the same measurement as I me and is a 3" inlet / 2.5" outlet muffler a good choice?
Thanks for any help/advice,
Ross

^^^The stock exhaust is mostly 2.25" past the cats.
Here's some more muffler/exhaust **** from the shop where it was done:

I spent way too much on a pair of great condition Ford marked red Warn hubs. I had Warn premium's on and hated the gold color. It eventually faded and looked even worse so I disassembled, cleaned and lubed my stock (working) 5 bolt autos and have been using them. Then I seen these for sale and pounced. There's some wear on the chrome Caps but nothing excessive. They still look great and the red Caps are still nice and red.

Love your truck man. I'll do exhaust one if these days.

The exhaust wasn't cheap either, but its stainless all the way back, and the welds are clean and seamless. Well worth it. Headers next.
Welp, looks like I need a new hosting site. If only I could post straight from Google photos.
Anyway, yea the guy I got these from has an NOS set for $200 and I would have loved to have those but it was just too much to justify. I paid $130 for this set that shows use of course but they're not abused. The red still looks good except a little but on the ****. I'm gonna try and clean them with some mineral spirits/ lindseed oil and see if that helps. Warn won't sell just the chrome caps which sucks but no worries, these look pretty good too.
