i wanna run straight pipes on 05 f150 5.4l its got a cold air, good idea or not good idea

 

do it it sounds awesome! will have excessive "crack" when cold but once warm a very nice rumble! we did it to a buddy 05 5.4 and left all 4 cats on.

 

okay sweet i will be doin it this weekend thanks my 5.4 only has the 2 cats

 

must be a late 05? it may be extremely loud with only 2 cats not sure how much louder tho. are you doing it yourself?>

 

IF YOU REMOVE THE COVERTERS THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WILL NEVER GO OUT IT MESSES UP COMPUTER

 

DEPENDING ON WHAT YEAR IF YOU TAKE OFF CONVERTORS IN WILL AFFECT COMPUTER. I HAVE 2006 F150 I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT BECAUSE OF COMPUTER

 

05, 5.4L with an aftermarket warmer-air-than-stock-under-the-hood-bling-intake?

Better get custom tunes before you say bye-bye to one of your burnt pistons or valves.

Oh, and don't forget to install the truck nuts when you take the mufflers out.

After all, you don't want to be 1/2 redneck.

 

yes i will prolly end up doin it my self and i think i might leave the cats on and just run no muffler and have then dump out behind my rear wheels

 

its SUPER EASY to just take muffler out and put pipe in, so you could just leave it coming out the rear of the truck.

 

yeahh i might do that and just put a big chrome tip on her

 

Now thats funny!

 

I don't know where you plan on driving your truck or where you live, but all I've seen is constant tickets for trucks that are stupid loud. Trust me, I love the way my truck sounds with my Gibson Headers and Super40 Flow....but even when I'm back home in TX where there are no laws on emissions, they are definitely cracking down on noise violations... I'm stationed in NorCal now and it sucks even more, I can't drive my truck off base after the sun goes down because I'll get a 'fix-it' ticket.

I'm not saying it will happen right away where you're at, but keep in mind there are more and more tree huggers coming out of the woodwork trying to shut our sweet sounding trucks down with noise violations and damn SMOG tests.... I'd just hate to hear about a fellow truck driver spending money on a quality exhaust and then not be able to run his truck or having to spend even more getting it removed...

@Shotguz--+2!! You Forgot to mention the 1/2"Chain to bolt them on so nobody makes off with them....

 

ya it really depends on where you live in regard to how loud it is. Before I had my 05 i had a 92 f150 with a 5.0 true dual straight pipe stacks and it was loud as ****. I never got in trouble with the law with those pipes. But I must say though that i love a quiet truck like my 05 now. haha

 

"§ 46.2-1047. Operation of a motor vehicle with straight pipes (or no mufflers or gutted mufflers or cutouts)" ...
... or "§ 46.2-1049. Operation of a motor vehicle with insufficient muffling device" are popular tickets here as well.
