Hey I'm looking to put an exhaust kit on my truck. I have a 2010 f150 XTR 5.4L. Not sure what to get axle back or cat back or even a good brand really. I'm looking for a nice throaty sound

Any good ideas or even a sound clip would be sweet!

Might as well go cat back. I installed MBRP- I'm content with it, but I'll likely look at something different next go round. It has a nice tone, pretty low, but since the 5.4 is such a lugger, it can drone a bit.
Watch your mid pipe size. Too much larger than OEM will really change your torque curve and your shift patterns will change a bit

Not sure if this will help but have you searched the 2004-2008 forum? There might be some useful information posted on that thread.

Is it si/so and what dose it should like on the highway? I'm kinda leaning that way not sure about the duel. And how much did it run ya for?

Check out the db Corsa. I have the cat back and am very happy with it. No drone, not obnoxiously loud and easy install.

I got it from autoanything.com for under $500 shipped.

Mines si/do. Set me back a little over 400 plus an hour or so rolling in the snow to install.
For what it's worth- looks good, sounds ok, but I think the si/so system would be my next choice.

On the highway it's actually pretty tame in the cab. Only get minor drone at about 1600. I have managed to quiet that down a lot by moving the tips out. Also- no back-rap! that was huge to me. I hate that bubble-snap when you let off the gas. Keeps an even tone all the way through. on the loud scale- i'd put it at 5/10. not obnoxious, but definitely throatier than OEM. The one biggest complaint I have is the fit. Wasn't as clean as I'd like. The shroud for the spare hits and I have found I'm going to either have to take it off or get it re-bent to make the tips even. Also, find a bracket of some sort to secure any of the wires/ lines on the drivers side if you go dual.

For the money spent- I'm not complaining. I have a sound clip on this forum some where of it. I intend to keep it until its fried

Found the clip it sounds pretty good defiantly going to keep mbrp in mind. Just when I think of them I think of a sled can :p thanks for sharing your opinion

Here's my truck. I can get a longer video if you'd like. This is right after installation so it's gotten louder due too breaking in since. Let me know what ya think.

Hey Sgt, I have a 2010 w/5.4. All I did was cut off the factory muffler and weld in a 24in single in single out welded back to the factory pipe. Its not loud at all until you punch it, then it wakes up. 200 bucks and your done.
