Which Exhaust?

I am looking to add a new exhaust to my 05 F150 SuperCrew and am stuck between an MBRP and Magnaflow. I think I want to go with a S.I/D.O setup.

Anyone have any opinions on either brand or are they basically the same?

I'm sure its a matter of personal taste but just looking for a little guidance.

Thanks in advance.

I have the si/so mbrp setup and love it. I went with the installer series with aluminized pipes, 3 years later and no rust. People compliment the sound all the time.
I would completely recommend mbrp, I love it

I've got flowmaters on mine. SI/DO. They are ran out the passenger side right in front of the rear tire. Surprisingly there isn't much drone in the cab and it sounds wicked outside.

I have Mangaflow si/so and I am completely unhappy with the sound of it. I don't want something that drives people crazy or drones in the cab but I expected more sound then what I got. I will either change to a MRBP or go with a mangaflow si/do to try and get more sound out of the system.

I ended up ordering an MBRP XP series SI/DO that exits on each side.

I got a good deal in my mind so we'll see what happens.


Thanks for the replies.

Will do. Hopefully it arrives next week only to be installed shortly thereafter.

If you don't mind the noise, you should go with true duals! I have a SI/DO system but on my next truck I'll be getting true duals for sure.

I've had a Flowmaster on mine since I bought the truck new in 2005. Have absolutely loved it. Just enough rumble at idle to know it's there, and pretty quiet at freeway speeds inside cab -- which was important for a daily commuter. But when I punch it (with Edge installed), it sounds like a jet taking off. Couldn't be happier!

I have true duals and dont mind the sound at all. Guess it depends on which muffler you get and where it exits.
