I spent about 900 on a quality exhaust system for my 2012 when I had it. Though it sounded great under 1500 RPM and over 2000 RPM in between there OMG. Drone was killing me. About 400 later, a different exhsust, two different resonators and an insert. I sold the exhaust because I could not get rid of the drone. I since purchased a 13 Limited andwill keep the stock exhaust.

Wish you luck.

Was it the MR400? If not what was the original exhaust? Again I'm definitely keeping the stock system in case the solo is just too much for my liking. Did you notice any difference in performance?

It was Solo, but not the 400, they offered to fix it and add a J pipe, but I couldn't make it to NY. Great folks to deal with, but I really didn't like taking such a hit in the wallet and not use it. They said, they never heard a F150 drone with it, so who knows.


Oh and the previous post, I meant different muffler, not exhaust.

Keep the reviews coming guys no matter whether its positive or negative. I know from the group buy there were quite a few people who went with this exhaust who can provide valuable insight.

I got my SOLO MR400 pipe the first week I got my F150 EB and 2 days ago I got my SOLO 3' downpipes with HIGH FLOW CATS and I LOVE my pipes!!!!! I think its the best system on the market. The pipes are all made out of stainless steal so it wont RUST years down the down.

If the pipe is TOO load for you, you can always add a diesel muffler to quit down the sound.

I loved mine at first. But it quickly began to wear on me it's too loud in my opinion. Quality is good I would recommend going to a quieter muffler like the 46
