Own a 13 XLT EntCab and am thinking about duel exhausts. Can/ has it been done on the EB engine. Is this simple or real expensive. I have always liked duel exhausts trucks and wish the companies would include it more often. Many SUV’s have that right now. Thanks
Yes, it can be done. As with anything, you get what you pay for - Some companies offer cheaper exhaust made of aluminized steel which won't last. T409 stainless is the next step up from that, then there's T304 stainless which will run you the most but last the longest any typically have the best warranty. You're looking at a couple hundred bucks to over a thousand.
I have no idea what, if anything is available in a "true dual" exhaust setup for the EB. Since cost is a concern for you, I would imagine that you are thinking of a cat-back system that bolts up after the Y-pipe and splits at the muffler (typically).
Worth hitting up youtube with a search on "ecoboost dual exhaust". If you're used to a V8 sound, the EB is not going to sound like that at all. Sound is very subjective, but I find the EBs sound like a high powered vacuum cleaner with exhaust. My neighbor has an EB and wanted to get duals after hearing the Borla S-type on my 5.0. After a couple youtube videos (and a couple beers) he talked himself right out of it.
Yeah, there's no way to get "that V8 sound" out of the EB -- I think it sounds more like a Cummins than a ricer with an open exhaust (a small consolation, if you want to put on an exhaust, I suppose). I find that it's important enough to do, and I'm going to drop the coin on a Borla with the dual look (it's not a true dual exhaust). I just want the exhaust to exit straight behind me instead of out the side. I absolutely LOVED the sound of my 7.3 opened up, and I miss that everyday. But I love my new truck, and I want the "best" for it, and I believe that an exhaust will make enough of a difference to make the change. Others may not think so & might not be for them, and that's perfectly fine by me...
I would look at Stainless Works...they have several exhausts for the egoboost. Another site to look at is Stage3motorsports.com They have a ton of exhausts from all sorts of manufacturers.
The thing I like about Stainless Works is they have videos with comparisons of the exhausts from idle to taking off all side by side and in the same video. Let's face it...NOTHING is going to sound as good as being there in person. Listening to clips on the computer (unless you have an excellent sound system for your computer) will sound great.
I think the new F150 Raptor with the Ecoboost will have dual exhaust. I would wait and see who makes the exhaust and what it sounds like. Thats just my opinion
If you're talking about the 2015, I would have my doubts that everything will line up because of the new aluminum frame. If you're talking about using that system as a direct replacement, that is.
Yeah, that's screwy -- Somehow, I was under the impression that the frame was also aluminum. I'm not sure how that came to be... BUT, I did read that the frame is quite different this year, so it'll be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
There are few true duel exhaust systems in todays car world. That
means 2 CATs allowing two independent system..
There are vehicles which come from the factory with
two exhaust pipes off the single CAT,
giving the illusion of a duel exhaust system.
How about just bolting a couple chrome exhaust tips under your bumper
for the duel look, and keeping your factory system?
If you think that is
a dumb idea, is it any dumber then spending big bucks to actually run pipes to them?
That, by the way, was said to me by the owner of a muffler shop years ago, when
I went in to replace a rusted out exhaust pipe on my 95 truck, and I asked about
the feasibility of some sort of duel system.
There are two cats, then they are joined together and run back through a resonator and muffler in the stock system. I would think that attempting to run a true dual down towards the back of the truck would be difficult due to the fuel tank location. I'm guessing that's why the join together and run down the opposite side of the frame rail.
