Performance muffler advice needed
Discovered this web site today, so here is my first question. Just bought a new 2015 F150 with 3.5L Eco Boost. My last one, a 2005 F150 with 4.6 V8 was a great truck and even better after I added a MagnaFlow muffler only (not a cat back). Power improved noticeably. On the new 2015, would a MagnaFlow muffler improve pickup and power to the extent it would be worth the cost, or is it not necessary with the Eco Boost engine? BTW, on the 2005 I first added a K&N Air filter but the real improvement was when I got the MagnaFlow. Any comments are appreciated. Great web site BTW.
You will get more sound than power, the stock muffler isn't much of a restriction. Sometimes sound gives the illusion of more power! I would look up sound clips/videos and buy what you feel sounds the best.
A more free flowing muffler won't give you much if any performance increase. If you replace the entire system front to back with you'll have a bit of of bump.
Don't have any experience with sound differences from muffler swaps on EB's but it did make a definite change in sound with my 5.0. From vids I noticed the EB's muffler swaps seemed to be more raspier than stock.
