See the link/thread I'm Broken put in his last post, I basically have a turn down in place of the tailpipe, which is after the axle.

I did the same magnaflow as previous posts and had it routed out before the rear wheel on my 18 screw. Not too loud no drone and it comes to life great when I get on it! Best mod so far on my truck

I know OP already installed his Magnaflow.

my 2001 5.4 had a 3030sb from Classic Chambered Exhaust.

My 2013 5.0 has an electric exhaust cutout by Badlandz. Love it. OEM silence vs wide open dump chosen by me with a press of a button.

Based on reviews this seems exactly what I am looking for and cheap if I don't like it. Thanks all for the input!

Watching this. This is exactly what I want to do. Are you installing yourself?
