MBRP or Silverline?

Hi all. I'm getting ready to put a full system on my Excursion. Both MBRP and Silverline have similar features and price. Which do you prefer? Sound difference? I've read some reviews saying the MBRP's hangers aren't always in the right spot. Thanks.

i have a silverline with muffler delete and it fit and sounds great. if your going to delete the muffler either system will do fine since 4" pipe is 4"pipe. i dont know what the silverline sounds like with the muffler but my father in law has a muffler on his mbrp exhaust and imo its too quiet...........

Well, right now my exhaust is too loud. It was cool at first but is just too much now. I bought the truck with the exhaust cut off below the back seat with a side exit. I'd like a nice tone and I guess I could always delete the muffler later but want one now.

The other issue is when I get on it and dump some smoke, it pukes out underneath the truck and goes everywhere, including our new 33 foot Flagstaff.

I installed the 4" MBRP turbo back 409 SS with the muffler in the 'soft' direction and have not had any regrets.

Good luck,

I installed the turbo back mbrp 409 on my truck. Bought it at Riffraff with free shipping around $500. It arrived in Kansas in 48 hours.

thats why you think its too loud it doesnt go to the back of the truck. grab an entire exhaust and then put a turn down tip on it........

Sure, I'm hearing it at my rear door. I did a muffler delete on my F250 and that wasn't too bad at all, because it was all the out the back.

I also want a nice sound. It's pretty raspy now. I don't think these motors sound that great with a straight exhaust, nothing like a Cummins at all. I sure love that Cummins sound.

Silverline hangers aren't that great either.

I had some problems with fitment on the MBRP that is on my truck. They told me some cab configurations end up with a hanger clamp that just wont work. They made me a new hanger and shipped it promptly so pretty good service if there is a problem.
