Exhaust Suggestions
I am trying to choose what exhaust I want to build on my F100
So far I am thinking:
HED-89356 - Hedman Street Headers
2 1/2" Y pipe to 3" single exhaust
Thoughts??? What 3" single in/out muffler would you suggest??? I want performance and really don't mind it being really load.

With a 3 inch exhaust, it will be loud. I am running a pair of Dynomax VT mufflers on a set of hedman headers, true dual 3 inch pipe with H pipe on a 460. They were the quietest free flowing mufflers I knew of. That being said, the truck is loud. it sounds great, but you can hear me coming and going.
I think you will get lots of opinions on what sounds best. I recommend listening to youtube clips and listening to trucks around town. Borla, mangaflow, Dynomax all make good products at different price points and all have different characteristics.

I have a Magnaflow copycat, driving around normally it's pretty quiet. Gets loud when you put your foot in to it. But that rarely happens. No drone, crusing I can't hear the engine or the exhaust. I love it. Makes nose when you want it to and that's pretty much it. I have 2.5" pipes off the headers with a short 3" tailpipe.

What engine do you have? I have long tubes on my 300 and they do not drop below the frame.

This is the best sounding muffler I've heard on a engine running long tubes - compared to Flowmaster or Magnaflow.

When considering exhaust, there are a few questions that need to be answered prior to your decision.
1. Does the state that you register in require emissions testing.
2. Do you have a performance engine that requires full flow exhaust.
3. Are you willing to have the exhaust tuned to the requirements of the engine.

I have an 83 F100 with 302 and AOD
I have installed edelbrock intake and Holley carb
It is not a "performance" engine but that is not out of the question later down the road.
It seems logical to put on headers when I upgrade the exhaust, which is my next project.
I live in texas so a truck this old does not have emissions requirements. I have already removed EGR system when I did the intake/carb

It really depends on what mods you plan on running that will make long tubes worth it. Bigger carb/cam, ported heads.. Then the long tubes will shine.
Just curious are you still running the long tubes with the 3" single? How does it sound?
