It's a pure sound and visual enhancement!

I changed my stock muffler on my 2010 XLT 5.4 SCAB, and muffler only, for the "sound enhancement". Nice descriptor, but fitting!

The first one I put on was a Magnaflow 5X8X24 and the drone at 2000 rpm was, in my ears, bad.

I switched to a Magnaflow 8X11X22 and the drone is minimal although still noticeable at 1800-2000 rpm particularly in hilly or mountainous areas. Don't know what towing is like yet.

The reason I drone on , is that I recommend you research drone on the forums, as it may be something you will be putting up with, when changing the muffler. The smaller the Magnaflow the louder the drone. Can't speak for a catback system but maybe some others in here can.

Wow that's cheaper than shipping to Alaska.

If anyones worried about drone then go with Corsa. Great sounding system and no drone at all, but you can still hear it when accelerating.

Towing drone... I towed home from the campsite where I installed the kit, with the 5er. The sound was a bit much at first, until I got used to it. Up to that time, I never really used the borlas without the camper so I had nothing to compare it to. On the highway, there is no escaping the deep tones when you mash the peddle to pass or going up a hill- its what it does.

After about 50 miles or so, I found the rumble somewhat sweet and soothing.

Yup- the drone will be there while towing. Perhaps a side discharge might help but I have no regrets (yet).
