Trying to decide!
Hey there, coming to this thread for some insight. I will be purchasing an exhaust soon and I知 not sure which I should go with. My immediate concern is drone in the cab while cruising. However I want something at start up, idle, acceleration, etc... that sounds badass, mean, throaty, you know what I mean. Any ideas on which route I should go?

Borla SType, zero drone, the more and longer it heats up, the better it sounds.

Full agreement with the post above. I just installed a Borla S-Type and it's absolutely perfect! No drone at cruising, can be stealth mode if you need to be or you can really make it scream if you prefer. I've tried the following before the Borla:
- removed stock muffler and just ran the stock resonator - too raspy and drones
- MBRP dual cat-back - sounds great at idle and around town on light throttle - way too loud if you're WOT and at cruise, the drone was very bad
- "custom system" - kept the dual outlet pipes from the MBRP, put the stock resonator back on and switched the MBRP muffler for a Magnaflow SIDO. More reasonable volume than the MBRP system, but sounded muted and still had a bit of resonance in the cab at certain loads.
All this to say, I should have ponied up the money for the Borla in the first place, would have actually saved money in getting to the right answer!

I just entered the world of Borla, with the Touring exhaust on my 3.5 EB. It took about 2 hours to remove and replace the exhaust from the flange back. Not too difficult other than my old body doesn't like crawling under cars as much as it used to.
I was going to have it done at a local shop. They quoted $150 for 2 hours. That was incentive enough to dust off the jackstands and pull out the socket wrenches.
Sound is nice - pretty much as predicted by the Borla web site. At some point, I can throw together a short video. My quick attempt to video it with the phone resulted in tons of wind noise and no sound from the exhaust.

Any recommendations on an aftermarket exhaust for a 3.5 naturally aspirated? Don't want it to sound like a ricer. Most of what I see online deals with the 3.5 ecoboost and wasn't sure of the sound difference?

Super 40
For anyone that was looking for any feedback for a good muffler on a 5.0 I知 here to help you out. I had been battling with what exactly I wanted, needless to say I知 very happy with what I chose to do. I wanted something throaty and mean, but wasn稚 too loud in the cab. In my opinion a Flowmaster Super 40 WITH THE RESONATOR STILL INSTALLED is the way to go. I can hear it when I知 getting on the throttle, it sounds good at idle as well. But is not over bearing from in the cab, the drone is hardly noticeable and is quieter than the radio. I love it. So if you池e on the fence hopefully this helps you decide.

Scrolling through this thread because I've had my '18 5.0L for just over a week and I desperately need to change the exhaust. This truck sounds horrible with all the random engine noises, to the whistling 10 speed transmission lol. This truck sounds more like my Explorer Sport with the 3.5L Ecoboost than a V8 truck. I work at a Ford dealer and I've heard at least 3 people come in with 5.0L noise complaints.

I just purchased a 2013 Supercab that has a MBRP single exit exhaust. It's a little loud for me so I am replacing with the OEM exhaust system which I like better. However, I do not care for the chrome tips and would rather install dual black chrome or powder coated tips. Anyone have any suggestions for a simple bolt-on tip replacement?
Thankyou!
