Best single exit exhaust 5.0
#31
I put the 4" stainless diamond eye system on with the 5" black tip and I absolutely love the sound. Just drove 1000 miles round trip to Kentucky and back and have no complaints. Small amount of drone but nothing bad. Hell my wife never said a word so that tells me it isn't bad.

What gears are in your truck and what size tires do you run? I'm wondering if your cruising RPM is significantly different from my average 1750RPM

I would say the Roush system sounds the best for the 5.0. I have a resonated Mach X dual on my truck and IMO the Roush exhaust sounds even better than mine. The ONLY reason I chose the Mach X is because most of the Roush exhaust owners say the in-cab drone is pretty bad at cruising speeds.

Factory restore
I am currently looking to purchase a Ford F-150 and think I have found a pretty sweet deal on a solid truck. The truck currently has a roush exhaust and it is loud! Does anyone have any idea what I'd be looking at as far as price/cost to have the factory exhaust restored to get that noise level down?

Go to the Trade/sale of parts section for your area and see if anyone wants to trade plus some change or not, that would be the cheapest route, doing the work yourself of course.

I think you'd be talking quite a bit to go new OEM.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! We agree catback #15461 is a great all around system and has been a popular choice for F-150 owners.
If a single-exit system was desired instead of the same-side dual, we would recommend #15000 (polished) or #15365 (black) for any 5.0L truck besides the extended cab short bed. All three of these systems have a very street-friendly volume that is almost unnoticeable inside the cabin, but are much deeper than the stock system. You can find some additional info on these products using the links below. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot us a PM anytime!

Your website says yes but some distributors say only for the supercab with 6.5 ft box. Thanks in advance!
