Default Dual exhaust with ecoboost?
I am on the fence on which motor I want in my new truck. I don't care about mpg's. If I did, I would have bought a fusion. I want power. At the same time, I like growl. And I like it loud. On every truck I have ever owned, I cut off the factory exhaust and put on flowmaster 10's true duals with the "x" pipe.

Based on this, which motor is best for me? I am pretty sure I want to chip this one, though I have never chipped a motor before.

Please, advise.

Get the 5.0 V8.. No V6 has the sound of a V8 and the turbos on an engine muffle the sound even more.

^What he says.

If growl is important to you go V8. Don't bother with exhaust on EB.

5.0 has plenty power to satisfy that need.

I've got a '13 GT with a Borla attack on it, I agree :-)
