I'm thinking about putting an exhaust on my truck. I don't want to spend $500 on a cat-back system so I'm thinking of having an exhaust shop do a custom one. I'm looking for ideas as far as what muffler to use and pipe size so if anyone has a custom exhaust details and pictures if you have them would be greatly appreitiated.

Well, I went with a 3 inch pipe straight into my 3 inch dynomax race bullett muffler then straight into my 3 inch factory tail pipe. Started just behind the flange at the y pipe. I plan on getting a new flange made for the exhaust side to get rid of the ugly weld. I would recommend leaving the factory flange on the y pipe. If not I suspect they could say you altered the factory y-pipe since that's where the cats are I was a little Leary. Any way it sounds very deep

I basically did the same thing as medic but used a Borla 3" si/so muffler and also deleted my resonator (not sure if medic did that too or not). I love the sound of my Borla, first time to run one- definitely recommend one.

I had a full Borla system on my 01 loved it but I wasn't about to fork out that kinda dough. For 100 bucks I'm extremely happy. I did remove the resonator also.

were you concentrating on focusing a camera on your dash with a child in the truck?

No actually I was on the phone with my wife. ( speaker) she was trying to turn the tv down but my son wanted it back up. Also on a closed to public private road. I would never try to video with a kid in the truck!! Actually I'm a paramedic so I've seen some crazy things. If you listen you can hear him say turn it on( the tv) anyway it is not a great video but it was something quick that I could do at my house.

Truth be told my wife wasn't happy about me doing the video so she made me have her on the phone while I did it. We both work in medicine.

Sounds good! Did you see the thread about the factory resonator delete pipe off the 2010's. You dont have to pay for any welding, unless your dead set on actual 3" mid pipe. Here is the link.https://www.f150forum.com/f38/2011-1...lution-151041/
Also you can buy the mid-pipe at :http://www.tascaparts.com/parts/2010...t=FRONT%20PIPE Plus you can undo it if you dont like it, and you will spend more if you do 2 welds at the muffler shop.
I am running the resonator delete pipe and a Borla S-type 2.5" si/so and totally love mine.

Yea I saw that I decided to just go with the 3 inch pipe welded in.
