Default Which Exhaust System?

Which is the best Exhaust System for a 2018 F150 3.5 Eco. Not to loud but has some growl and good performance. Thanks

For catback, the new AWE system is the best sounding one I have heard but only based upon sound clips, not in person.

SPI has a new one out that actually sounds decent. Most on a 3.5 do not.

I decided to go with the "less is more" since it's a V6 and stock cat-back flows enough to support even tuned power levels efficiently. It's only been a day but so far I think I made the right decision...it's not much of a change though. If you might be okay with just a tiny bit of volume and a nice deep (it's a V6) tone, consider simply deleting the resonator. Even if you go all out with the super expensive quality stainless Corsa piece that is straight bolt in and easy to do yourself, you're only looking at ~$230.






That said, I'm still tempted by the Borla S-type. I've been all over YouTube and this (put your headphones on) seems to be a great overall representation. I say that as somebody who has not heard it in person so who knows really (not I)

Who is SPI? I googled then and got nothing. Interested in checking them out.

I do agree with you that most exhausts on these V6 ecoboost engines do not sound very good. There Are a few that sound good at startup, idle and low rev but when they get up in rpm that sound just ain’t good. I love the way mine runs and unfortunately may have to settle for stock exhaust.

If it ain't a 5.0 leave it alone. No need to try to make a different sound out of an engine missing two cylinders
