My roush pipe that goes over the axle is getting some surface rust as well. Ive had it 5 months. Since I've installed it I have gotten pulled over once for it being to loud. So for you guys in NY beware. I live in SC so I told the cop I was just passing thru. My exhaust hits my leaf spring so I'm taking back to the shop who installed it and seeing of they can fix it so it won't hit anymore. Would I regret buy

Stainless works hi flow cats with the x pipe/performance connect... I haven't bought them yet because they are kinda pricey but they are impressive as hell

It was a pretty easy install. Kind of a pain to get the stock system out in one piece. Had to drop the spare and bend the spare tire heat-shield back just a bit to worm it out. It just bolted right up. Cutting the mid-pipe was the most time consuming part as you need to measure, measure, measure.

You will need a 13mm socket for the two bell connector bolts, 15mm deep well socket for the clamps, a 19mm socket and a 21mm end wrench to loosen the lower spring perch bolt to add the additional hanger the Roush system needs. You will also need a picky wife, or significant other, to tell you when you have the tips lined up.

Here is a quick vid at startup and idle. This does not do the sound justice. It is much deeper at idle.

Here are some install pics:

Stock vs Roush




Stock resonator vs Roush muffler.


Roush midpipe is 61" long. You cut this to fit. I had to cut about 18" to make it fit. So this *should* fit a supercrew with the 6.5" foot bed all the way down to a reg cab.


Bolt on connector:


Next the tail pipe:


What does your dealership say about this as far as your warranty? Mine told me anything I put on it, even Ford aftermarket parts will void my warranty. I talked to a service worker though not the service manager, just wondering if anyone else's dealership told them that.

I have two dealerships in my area. My purchasing dealership doesn't have a problem with it. In fact, most like it.

My "local" dealership hasn't mentioned it either, but they are pretty much against any modification of any type to a vehicle.

From my perspective the only warranty that I voided was the exhaust warranty from the cat back.

My dealership offered free liftime oil changes so I take it in every few months for an oil change. I'm not sure if they would take note that I have an exhaust and intake or not, but I do put the stock intake back on every time i go in.

I was thinking about getting this system but now that I am hearing about these rust issues I'm not so sure. Does Roush cover that under their warranty? 2 months to be rusted out is nuts...
