i blew the stock muffler out on the 05 f150 and now it is time for a new one wondering what people would say to put on just for a muffler and a ball park price on it. thanks for the help

 

I had a flowmaster 50 series and stainless tip installed for $260

 

Let your fingers do the walking...call your local muffler shops and ask what they charge.

 

Depending on your muffler choice and tip, your ballpark is about 200 to 250 bucks as the going rate for basic replacement... Now is the time for considering dual exhaust for about $400 to $600, depending how far you wanna take it...

The shorter the muffler the louder it is, so you need to factor in what sound you are looking for.

 

If your looking for a deep rumble from the factory pipes stick a super 40 in place of the factory one get a piece of 2.5"x12 resonator pipe to fill the gap. Cost me 81 bucks to do it. Yeah I don't look as cool as the boys running dual but I sound just as good or better. Just a suggestion if your going on a slim budget like I was. If you got money to spare do it right.

 

And if you want an aftermarket muffler listen to youtube video's and chose from there. Buy the muffler and have a shop bend up the pipes and put it on for you. I believe I read the factory muffler will flow well enough for a 375 hp motor.
OMG, I haven't responded to a muffler thread in about a year. This and leveling kits are the most repetitive threads. A little typing will go along way. Good luck!
not my truck, just a sample of what you will find.
