F150 FX4 Exhaust opinions
#16
I too am in the hunt for a good exhaust. I've been thinking of buying a long Magnaflow muffler, to reduce drone, and have a shop weld it into the stock system. Any thoughts on that? The only option that is close money-wise is the MBRP aluminized catback, but I don't know how I feel having a 3.5 inch pipe on my little 5.4. I'm afraid of losing low end torque.

Aluminized will rust, given time and conditions. My aluminized custom bends lasted 7 years on my Explorer here in VA before it formed holes.

I figured I would give an update on what I did since I am disappointed with the result. I bought MBRP cat back 400 Stainless duals. I am really displeased with the degree they are rusting. Even the polished tips are rusty.
I am probably going to have to replace them and will go with Magnaflow.

If you bought the T409 grade stainless system, it will surface rust because it is a lesser grade stainless than the T304. I bought the T409 and have surface rust on the pipes, but was assured it will never rust through. As for the tip, all the systems use a T304 tip, and mine also started to show some rust spots due to the excessive salt they dump on the roads in the winter here (its hell on everything). MBRP has an awesome warrenty and I sent them I pic of my tip and they promptly shipped me a brand new one at no cost.
