best exhaust for the 5.0?
#21
There is a video on youtube of that exhaust on a 5.0, loud as hell and drones. I thought about it for my supercharged truck, but then abandoned the idea as it's too loud for a daily. Flows good though!

I put the 12589 on mine. Along with TWO of magnaflows ultraquiet resonators in line. It sounds alright for an ecoboost doesn't drone and isn't loud at all.
Now... i didn't put the exhaust because i wanted to hear the truck more, ecoboosts sound like ****. I NEEDED the exhaust and that's it. So i set out to make it quiet while keeping a relatively straight through muffler essentially.

I dunno, i don't have any comparison besides to the stock resonator and stock muffler on vs this. Stock was essentially damn near silent. All engine noise and tone came from up front.
With this the noise definitely comes out the exhaust, but it's a pretty clean tone, it isn't raspy.

I talked to a local muffler shop, he recommended a 3"/3" offset muffler. We are going to run new pipe from cat to muffler and out, eliminating the resonator. You guys have a 14" #11229, 18" 12259 and a 22" #12589. What's the difference? Sound? All of this is going on a 5.0, I want a deep rumble, no raspy and little drone in the cab. Is this possible with one of the mentioned mufflers? TIA

So I removed the resonator today and installed 2 1/2 piping from the Y to a Flowmaster super 44 with 2 1/2 out. The cabin drone is insane, sounds awesome and very loud on the exterior but the 1-2,500 rpm interior is very droning

I've been running the MBRP pre-axle side exit for about 2 years. I've been very happy with it, but it is on the louder side of things on my NA 5.0. I think it'd be too loud with headers or a catless Y
