That's what I'm running, I like the sound.. Get lots of compliments on it too, and it's not too loud when just cruising but at WOT it hollers!

The exhaust hanger that is made for our model trucks is P/N 36232. Muffler is a P/N 17228. And the intermediate pipe is a P/N 53703. Other than those things all you need is 1 3" band clamp and 1 2.5" band clamp. I'll post some pictures up when I get a chance so you can see what it looks like finished product.

I had that set up on both my 4.6 and 5.4 well the 4.6 had duals but neither had a muffler and both sounded really good but the 5.4 is way louder but I was happy with both

Nice! Just like mine except I bent my pipe so it holds minimal condensation. I also havent gotten a tip yet...

Thanks, my original exhaust was stock out the back but couldn't stand how quite it was, so I cut it out and added a couple feet of pipe with a turn down, then got sick of how loud it was in the cab with it ending under the rear seat (do alot of highway driving) so I cut the turn down off the pipe I added and cut the turn off the stock exhaust, welded them together, and added the tip... Cost me a whopping 31$ to do haha

Oh for sure! I love it. Mine was out before the rear wheel and I kept the same thing just welded the pipe in. Sounds awesome. Clean deep tone when idling and getting up to speed. Cleanly loud when really romping on it. If you rev it in park, at around 5500-6k it kinda cackles a little..I rarely get there though. But otherwise its amazing.
