Default MBRP exhaust and 3.5 Ecoboost

Is anyone running the MBRP dual outlet exhaust on a 3.5 Ecoboost? Online opinions seem to be split down the middle of, "It's great!" and, "It sounds like a Civic with a fart pipe!" Close to pulling the trigger and ordering but still not sure.

Want to say I've read on here that one of the MBRP options had a lot of drone, but can't recall.
The only decent youtube I've found for the 2.7 is the Corsa, but $$$.

Sounds too much like a Honda to me.

Spend your money on a tune or other more worthwhile upgrades that play to the strengths of the EB platform. You're not going to get an impressive exhaust note out of a 6 cylinder truck. I'm not knocking the platform - it's simply something you give up when you opt out of the V8.

Here is the MBRP Pre-Axle kit on a 3.5L eco. Sound clips are at about 4:30 into the video

I think the magnaflow sound a little deeper then that. Atleast thats what I'm going with on my 2.7. Im going with the 14 inch only because the muffler guy recommended it, I was set on the 18 and he said the ecoboost motors are quiet.

I'm convinced a lot of you don't know what a Honda with an exhaust sounds like.

I have this on mine, and yea it sounded like a ricer so I added a second 9 inch by 30 muffler behind the first (MBRP quiet tone 4in/4out)made for diesel trucks. It quieted it down to a reasonable level but still has ricer tendencies when your gettin after it. Also the muffler that came with the system blew the rear out after some hard runs, that's really not what I'd call a great build quality, especially from a s/s exhaust. Thinking about a flowmaster laminar(14020100) to replace one of them. But on a positive note I do have to say the Tip is MASSIVE at more than 5 inches across.
