I have a 2015 F150 with a 5.0. The prices of the cat back kits are ridiculous. I'm just wondering if anyone has replaced the muffler only. If so, how was the sound? I'm just wanting a better sound.

 

I wonder if you could fit the HeartThrob muffler on there? The only hitch is the HeartThrob muffle is 4" diameter exhaust pipe.

 

Reducers would make quick work of the 4" to match factory.

 

I just watched a few youtube videos of 5.0 trucks with a Aero Turbine AT3030 swapped in place of the factory muffler. Still had the factory piping and resonator. Sounded pretty good.

 

I have done this on a few tricks to save money and have never had a problem at all. Just took to local muffler shop and had them throw one on cost me about 100 give or take plus whatever muffler I bought

 

I have a 2016 F150 Lariat - any suggestions on a muffler for a 2.7 EB? I love power and mileage of this motor. But interested in a different sound. Would prefer to have a truck that doesn't sound like a subcompact when started !

 

So check this out:

Single - 3" Cat-Back System - Ultra Flo? Welded Muffler - P/N: 39508 - DynoMax® Performance Exhaust

We use one of our Race Bullets as a resonator then one of our Ultra Flo Welded in a 3" variety in/out.
This is the one.

Ultra Flo? Welded - Offset / Centered Muffler - P/N: 17233 - DynoMax® Performance Exhaust


A lot of folks will just use the muffler. I have had our F-150 for the last few weeks and I love this system. Not too loud and nice growl to it.

Good luck!

 

u get what you pay for big time when it comes to an exhaust system..
Materials,design all play a part of this obviously.
IMO you want Stainless and you want something that will sound great
Nothing sucks more than to slap in your new catback and have a
dronemachine that you cant hear your passengers speak.

If your going to just splice in a muffler its the lesser cost option
but still want it to be stainless and hopefully well reviewed

 

Great points on stainless.
A majority of ours mufflers are stainless, a few on the Super Turbo line are aluminized.

Also our sound and performance guarantee is pretty cool.

I used to run dual Dynomax 4" bullets on my BB Chevy,**** off the neighbors .
Best bang for the buck muffler IMO for the race type cars...

 

Nice!!! They are loud and amazing. I agree about the race/muscle car application. But they are loud.

 

What the heck happened to exhaust prices, my 2010 f150 cat back cost 600, they wanted 1200 for the one I just put on my 5.0

 

The Aeroturbine AT3030 is stainless. I was thinking about losing the resonator and muffler on my 2015 5.0 and replacing them with a stainless pipe and Aeroturbine muffler. Will this void the drive train warranty in any way?

 

I'll just throw out my $.02 since I work for the company that makes the exhausts. I understand the OP said for better sound, my post has more to do with performance. The stock mufflers for the 5.0 and 3.5 EB are flow through mufflers with side branch tuning. The pipe going through them is 2.75". The tail pipe coming out is mandrel bent, 3" OD. The inlet pipe to the mufflers is 2.5" pipe. If you'relooking to boost pperformance, I don't think there's much to be gained from an aftermarket cat back system. I would think replacing the pipe and resonator between the cat and muffler would be the best way to go. I don't know what size pipe comes out of the cat, but I suppose there's a little to gain if it is 3" and a cat back was 3" all the way through.

 

I put the Gibson Dual sport on mine it is a 5.0. I love the sound and it is all stainless for around $600, the aluminized was less at around $400. It bolted right up nice and easy. I have always been a Flowmaster fan but the kits seemed so expensive, I 5K miles later, I would use the Gibson system again.
