MBRP selection - need help

So it's time to upgrade the blow hole.

I don't have the cash for stainless right now...so aluminum it is.

I'm looking at the S6212PLM right now...that way I can customize the muffler of my liking if I choose to add one.

It doesn't state anywhere that it specifically fits the Excursion though.

So my question is...what are you 6.0 Ex using and does anyone know if this model fits our trucks?

TIA!

I installed the MBRP XP Series 4” Stainless Steel, Turbo-Back S6216409 Exhaust w/ Cat Delete FS9414. I installed it myself in my garage.

Not sure if that model fits our trucks.

I would wait (if at all possible) and save up for the Stainless Steel. That way you would never have to worry about it again.

I know that if I needed an exhaust, it is the way I would go.

Good luck!

Ive run 2 MBRP aluminized exhausts on my truck (only say 2 because i got bored of 4" and went to 5") and i live in CT..home of every chemical possible you can put on the roads in the winter..and my aluminized exhausts have looked great. The stainless i had on my old truck looked horrible after 1 winter

I'll give MBRP a call and see what they say about fitment. I know they're going to say no, and that I need a system to has the provision for a cat, but I'll see what I can get out of them.

If memory serves the have a "test pipe" that just happens to clamp in place in the system.

That test pipe in ss is around $75 I think. I did mine last year....memory is failing

The cat sucks up more 6.0l sound than the muffler. Go muffler delete, and cat test pipe on deck. Best of both worlds, and only takes 20mins or so to change from mellow cat to rumbling straight.
