Search for V10 cherry bomb and look for Bladely's post. The Cherry bomb extreme muffler with 4" x 18" tips sounds pretty good. Going to put it on my truck in a the next couple of weeks! Can't wait!

Hey I need help with my exhaust,I had a custom system built for my truck. Looked great but you couldnt ride in the thing! It would drone you to death. The muffler was a Flowmaster. It was finally decided that the new 3 valve design couldnt be fitted with an after market exhaust. The stock ubit was mistakenly junked and the stock system isnt in the after market yet. Anyone know of a system that wont drone?

Heh, it's funny.. You guys seem to have the same issue us I6 guys have. There's a V10 that goes up and down my road all the time. I think it sounds good. I wish I new what he was running so I could help you guys out.

I have a Flowmaster on my I6 and it sounds okay. Would you guys be interested in a sound clip or would it not help?

The stock 2V log manifolds really mess with the sound of the 2V V10. I wish Ford would have used a manifold like the 3V V10 on the 2V.

Smaller cylinders? I don't think there is anything small about 6.8Ls.

Smallish bore, long stroke. The 6.8l is pretty much the opposite of 6.2l in that aspect.

I went with the straight thru Magnaflow and love it. Nice deep tone at idle and accel, but almost completely silent at cruise. I also have the Y-Pipe mod and a 4 inch stainless tip.

So i got the cherrybomb extreme put on yesterday and i love it. its loud but not overly loud and at highway speeds you can barly hear it, and at idle it sounds great.

dkf thanks a lot for the tip that flutter is KILLIN me. Where abouts would be the best site price wise to pick up some new headers? Thanks

Found the Hedman setup with the Y for about $560 so that most likely will be the pick right after the centerforce clutch. Thanks again

I put a Gibson on mine and love it! You cannot expect a v10 to sound like an 8 but Gibson did their best to make this kit have a throaty sound. Click search for Gibson Exhaust and their is alot of info on this forum for those v10's with Gibson and that is why i went with it. Make sure you get the stainless if you have any salt on the rodes where you live. Gibson warranties stainless for a lifetime against rust.
