SI/SO for SCAB with 5.5' bed??

Good evening,
Alright, here is the question. I am looking to put some exhaust on my 06 F150 Scab with the 5.5' bed and it seems as though nobody makes a kit for this. And I really don't want to go to a local place as I do not really feel comfortable with all the places down here. Also, I have been looking around and I believe I want to go with a SI/SO setup because I like the look better. However I also would like it to be somewhat loud, which I believe these systems are not as loud as the SI/DO kits. Which SI/SO kit is the loudest? Does anybody use the MBRP kit? I already did the search and so far the only thing I see is the Magnaflow 16612 kit will work with minor modification. Is this correct? I appreciate all the help, I really just don't want to buy a kit and then have it sound like stock exhaust and me not be happy.
I appreciate it,
Ski

Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust System

I installed the Magnaflow Cat back system. Part# 16608

It's a really nice sound, has a deep rumble when you come on to it, but when just cruising it's mellow and not droning. I really like it and both exhaust pipes come out the same side behind the rear tire. So it still looks stock, but it sure doesn't sound it. It's based on the Harley Davidson Exhaust system.

Cheers.

Was this on a SCAB with the 5.5' bed? It just seems very hard to find a kit for this setup.
Thanks,
Ski

I just looked at that setup online and it looks exactly like what I was looking for. I do like the duel side exit better then si/so. I even found it at performance peddler.com for 387 shipped. The only problem is that it's not really for my truck configuration. Has anybody modded this exhaust to fit? Would I just be able to take this to an exhaust shop to have them install it?
Thanks,
Ski

Yeah, sorry to misslead you. I just noticed that you have a Scab. I have a Screw with the 5.5 box.

I'm sure that there is something that would fit your truck. Did you check out the Magnaflow website. They have all kinds of options, you just have to put in the info. of your truck and it spits out the different kits that are available for your truck.

Cheers,

The thing is I don't want to buy this and then have an exhaust shop tell me they can't put it on. Also, I am not originally from this area and don't really know who to trust as far as exhaust shops. Anybody from the Beaufort, SC area know a good shop? Again, I appreciate all the help.

Try contacting the people at Magnaflow, they have the knowledge and should be able to answer your questions. I know that my kit did come with 2 mid pipes. 1 was shorter than the other. This might be able to help you install it onto your truck.

Try contacting the support group at Magnaflow, I'm sure they can help.

Cheers,
