Great thread pro-x-144
This thread is perfect for the Installations & Reviews section
I haven't done any exhaust upgrade with my new truck so I'll post the setup from my 2002 F150 Lariat/Fx4 I did back in 2003.
-What year/motor?
2002 4.6L
-What system?
Flowmaster SI/DO Side exit Part Number: 17226 Force II System 50 Series muffler http://www.performancecenter.com/product.page/Exhaust+%26+Headers/Exhaust+Systems/0/0/Flowmaster/FLW17226/FORD/2002/F-150/4.6L
-How does it sound?
At ideal it was not loud enough for me but did sound good under full throttle
-How does it fit?
It fit like a glove
-How much did it cost?
I bought mine off a friend that never installed it on his truck (new in the box) for $200.00
-Where does it exit?
Dual side outlet
-What diameter pipe?
? Not sure stock I think with the 3" Stainless Tips
-Stock cats?
Yes
-How does it look?
Very nice
-Are you happy with it?
Looks yes, sound no
-Comments:
I wish it was louder that's all
-Would you change anything?
The muffler, I would have deleted it or got a 10 series. But that's just me I like it loud
Here are some reviews from others
flowmaster exhaust - 08/19/2005
Reviewer: Joel S Own this product - Yes
From braham, MN
The flowmaster kit was a clean fitting system. The only complaint was the cheap mufflers clamps. They are too thin and not strong enough; as I found out after breaking two of them. Quick tip: If you plan to use clamps, go to a parts store and get stronger ones. I wanted to put a 40 series on my truck, but the 50 series (delta flow) has a nice deep mellow tone. And sounds good when you get on it too. I noticed more low end torque, and better acceleration. I am pleased with the system and would recommend it to other people
not what i was looking for - 07/10/2005

guys I'll tell you now its not a bad set up but when cut my stock muffler off way before i bought this and put a pipe on it and it was loud and deep but when i bought this i was hopin for it to be almost as loud but with a deeper tone but it didn't i really didn't like it all.... if it was a 40 series delta flow it would sound so much better
amazing! - 11/21/2004

incredible, simply incredible! hearing my truck sound the way it does now makes me wonder why hasn't everyone bought this yet. installation was very easy. the only hard part was getting the old one off. power has improved but i'm waiting to see what my gas mileage does since i'm having too much fun stomping on it!

good, but i need to find tips
-Are you happy with it?
Very !. I now have great acceleration and lots of torque
-Comments
This exhaust has a life time warrenty. Sounds great and offers noticable horsepower. Its still breaking in and getting a bit louder and deeper. I haven't seen a loss in gas mileage just a lot more horsepower. The engine is running fantastic and seems to really like the added air flow created by this exhaust.
I took off a stock exhaust and quite honestly the performance of this truck went from 'night to day'..snappy!
-Would you change anything?
Just the exit of the pipes. I pull a horse trailer and have it straight out the back. It might echo off the front of the trailer but hopefully can fix that with the right tips.

best exhaust you can get if you like it loud fro by far the cheapest price. The only tricky thing is gettin it to pass inspection in states where you must have a muffler
-Would you change anything?
nope, had glasspacks originally but changed them
