I just bought a 2002 F150, it's a 5.4L extended cab 4x4. I would like some advice on how to get a split rear exhaust system with moderate sound for a reasonable price. Also, I would like to know if installation would be difficult , or if it would be better for a shop to do it.

Thanks

 

Dunno... I mean, if you really wanted to go cheap, you could just throw a cherrybomb or thrush glasspack (anywhere from $25-$50 for the muffler) on there, put a y-pipe behind that, and then round it off with polished tips.

I have a Thrush glasspack on mine, it was just under $100 installed- but I was in a rush and bought mine from Autozone and paid twice for the part what Summit does. My truck is a 4.6 and I do not think it is overly loud, but your mileage may vary.

 

i would buy a muffler, SI/DO and have it welded in place and tell a muffler shop how you want it to exit out of the truck. its way cheaper than buying an exhaust kit. you can do the exhaust yourself by using the exhaust U-bolts but i would have that **** welded with some hangers welded on the pipes. people like to use the clamps and hang the pipes without welding them to the hangers and it just looks like ****, the pipes bounce around everytime you hit a bump.

 

Yeah, the truck has the power, I just want to hear it a little more

Thanks for your help

 

Your small muffler shop can fix you up with a nice set of stainless you'll like.

 

ive got a flowmaster super 44. the ****er screams. had it on about a year now and its pretty well broke in. got a nice rumble at idle.

 

I like this site. Got the tires, the look, the power and gonna get the sound... what's next?

 

post up some pics and well help ya out.

 

Yeah gonna flat black the wheels in the morning and then i'll post some pics

 

FYI as in power & something to think about during you selection.

I was going to add a 3" pipe behind the stock muffler for looks but got a new truck before I got that far.
