Magnaflow exhaust. 14" will be the loudest. I have the 18" and no cab noise at highway speeds. My flowmaster rep said magnaflow puts out better numbers. So theres your answer lol. Get an edge, superchips sucks, (i know from experience)

Get a custom tune, both edge and superchips suck compared to a custom tune done by a tunner using SCT software.

And yeah i woulda been fairly bummed if i posted a thread and someone told me to search another for the answer but he shouldn't have responded with "I don't have enough time" He kinda had that "rude" comment coming to him. Besides all that I think it's hilarious when people start bitching back and forth at each other on this forum.

I have a 2007 FX2 i want to change the exhaust add cold air intake. Is the hypertech 3 programmer ok to use with these changes and is it worth the money? Also for the exhaust I want to do a three inch cat back is this good or do you have a recomendation for something better.

14" magnaflow is loudest. Its the 5x9x14
oval or something like that. Yeah, I went into the local muffler shop and asked about getting an exhaust put on and he said it would be X amount of dollars for his flowmaster (Thats all he stocks and sells) I asked how much would it be to install a magnaflow if I brought it in. he said X amount and that I would be smarter to use magnaflow because their numbers are much better. Like i said, this guy only sells flowmaster.

Hypertech’s tune for the 07 F-150 5.4L gets gains of 25 HP and 40 TQ and is set up for a stock vehicle or one with light modifications such as an air cleaner or a cat-back. If you install an aftermarket air intake or exhaust that dramatically affects the amount of airflow into the engine or how the sensors read it, the tuning must be altered to recalibrate the sensor for the fueling and ignition timing to be correct. We always want to make the best product to fit our customers needs, so please fill out our product request form and specify the particular cold air intake and exhaust set-up in the “Comments” (Product Request…http://hypertech.com/requests.php). This will help us determine which modifications are the most popular, and which brands we should focus our attention on. If we develop a tune for a particular air intake that requires recalibration, that will become available through an internet update, and you will be notified via the email you provide in the product request form.
