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 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 !
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.

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.
