4.6 exhaust pipe
#2
my 06 is a 5.4l it has 2 1/4" I chopped it off in front of the Y and installed a pair of cherry bombs with turns out in front of the rear passenger tire, sounds great and was less than 250 bucks with custom mandrel bends at a friends shop, then I did the install. OH I did go to 2 1/2" but the O.D. was 2 1/4"

Could you please post some more pics of your system... This is exactly what I want to do to my truck!! And what size cherry bombs are those?

No problem, what I did was use some extra pipe I had here at home and made a mock up of what I wanted, then I took it to a friends shop and he measured it up for correct angles and did the bending with new pipes, then I took it home and welded it up, the cherry bombs are 2 1/2" and I believe they were 29 inches long, the longest I could find 20 bucks each, my tips come out in front of the tire at a 60 Deg angle. there are pics on my photobucket for you, I could try to take some more if you need, there isnt much to it. I did weld some small pieces of metal to both tail pipes so they dont wobble around and get crooked as well as I ree used my old Exhaust mount at the trans crossmember and the one at the frame in front of the tire, then put a new extra sturdy ,mount on the inside cherry bomb at the rear as well. Very Affordable system, like I said I have about 240-250 bucks into it here is the pics in my photobucket

hey Shawnstang, you removed your rear cats right?
and are you sure about the exhaust being 2 1/4"...because my trucks is 3" up to the "Y", and then it necks down to 2 1/2" all the way out....well it did until I installed my catback
if you're already spending $200-250 bucks, it would be better to get a good muffler. Cherry bombs aren't exactly subtle...unless you are only after raw noise

I took these today after work so you can see what I did. I had a hell of a time with a clamp on my passenger side behind the cat. I would like to be able to remove it anytime but the clamp kept leaking so I welded it closed for now ( so dont laugh at my weld ) I wil lreplace that with a new section and a better clamp when I have free time again ( in about ten years )
Keep in mind you can keep all of this within the heat shields if you use mufflers like cherry bombs that are a long straight through style. Edelbrock now has a sweet set of new mufflers like this too, but I put my money into my other trucks exhaust ( where it belongs )
this pic os from the rear of truck in front of rear axle looking foward
this is same location looking on the top of it, notice I retained my factory Exhaust mount, just cut it off the oldp ipe and welded to new
this is the trans crossmember exhaust mount, I did the same here as with the other mount. the pic is a little dark but its there
someone asked me about the O.D. here is the old pipe that goes into the muffler
this is on a 2006 F150 XLT crew cab 5.4l FFV with a 6.5' Bed a 5.5' Bed might be completely different as well as the 4.6l Exhaust may be different I cant say for certain
