Hey all, just wanted to get everybody's reccomendation on cat back exhaust systems for 03 5.4L engine. I'm tired of the flowmasters rusting out on me so time to move on. I do like my exhaust on the louder side. I did see a company called afe power, any experiences with them?

 

Nope

 

I've got a Magnaflow they sound the best IMO, glass packs are loud but quality isn't there, borla is another good company quality/ sound wise, go with Magnaflow I've had mine for a few years no rust and sounds mean

 

Forgot to mention I've got high flow cats but they don't seem to make a dramatic difference

 

Definitely go with a magnaflow. They have different options from more race type mufflers to something more mellow

 

Ill have to agree with those above. Go magnaflow. I dont like obnoxious so I went with a 22" magnaflow. You would want a 14" magnaflow. It will be plenty loud

 

Magnaflow. If your not into dual They also offer a full stainless 3" rear tailpipe section.

 

I'm definitely not into dual pipes I just want the stock side exit. I guess the old saying is true here, you get what you pay for, as the magnaflow is the most expensive.

 

I never been a fan of dual pips coming out under the bumper. 45s out the side is about as close as I would go. Here's my 3" angled single exit. I'm also not a fan of tips but thats all personal.

 

That looks unfinished to me, and looks sloppy/lazy. Should be curved like stock or maybe bologna cut.
