What do u guys think? I am sure we all know by now, that phones dont capture the best audio, but i really like the sound. Loud enough on the outside with little or no drone in the cab. That deep 5.0 growl that i was hoping for.

Sounds great Brandon, wishing Id opted for the 5.0 instead of ecoboost!

Todd, with all that you have been through, Ford should give you one! And if I could afford it, I'd buy you one! Hang in there buddy.

Yes, alittle. My wife says its loud but i am used to it now. This is my first truck and first aftermarket exhaust, so i really have nothing to base the cab drone off of. Other then the countless hours of audio/video research before i settled on the borla. I am sure the K&N CAI doesnt quiet anything down either....

Man, that sounds good!
Any way you can maybe get some drive-off and drive-by videos? Also, what part number muffler did you get and where did you get it?
I bought my truck straight piped and have been considering the XR-1. I don't mind how LOUD my exhaust is, but I wouldn't mind a more refined tone like the Borla mufflers provide. Does it pop a lot like when you're coasting? And is it raspy/poppy when you really get into the throttle? I'm just nervous to get a muffler since I'm used to the straight pipes and am afraid I might think it's too quiet haha.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Thanks for the feedback. I had an Expedition 5.4 with Banks headers, exhaust and a K&N CAI, and the drone was moderate; but we could live with it. I have an Airaid CAI on my 5.0, and it is so noisy on acceleration that when we take a trip, I switch it back to the stock airbox to keep the wife happy. This is the second Airaid on this truck. The first one included the intake tube and it was worse! These 5.0's valve arrangement make them growl louder than the 5.4's - but I love it.

Oh and their is some back pressure burping at times, but it's not a riceburner pop! Its more like a deep sounding gurgle, if that makes sense. Nothing about this setup is high pitch. The coyote 5.0 would never allow it!

The borla item # is 40943 and i got it from summit racing. I think my setup is a hybrid between straight pipe and a system with a muffler, considering where my muffler is located and the almost 5ft long SS 3 in. Pipe out. I assure u, it won't be quiet! Ha. I will take some additional vids, i have always been curious on how it sounds on the outside anyways. The raspy sound of the borla is what sold me in the first place. I think i have achieved that sound. Not annoyingly loud, just "sporty aggressive!"

Yeah I understand what you're saying about the deep gurgling sound when decelerating as mine does that now too.
I'm very seriously considering adding the muffler sometime in the near-ish future, and for probably under $200 for the muffler and to have it welded in, it's probably worth at least trying it.
Looking forward to more videos! (I probably listened to the one you posted a dozen times haha).
