Just checked again today, thought I may be crazy. I guess the 17's are different. My 11 6.2 was a SCLB and it had 2 resonators and a muffler. My 15 was a 6.7 Powerstro.....never mind. My 17 is a 6.2 CCLB and it has 2 small cats, 1 resonator, 1 muffler. The resonator terminates under the cab so I don't think I want to do a turn down under the cab. I'll probably run a straight pipe from the resonator, delete the muffler and dump it out the side in front of the wheel. less bends = cheaper.

The mbrp says cat back how ever there is one resonator still on the truck. I really like the sound of a roush system on the 6.2 raptor. Is there a system that I can come close to that sound? Even Tho the raptor has a little more pep.. they very similar engines. The mbrp is not worth the 500 bucks at all when compared to stock sound.

I'm so glad I saw your post as I was getting ready to buy the MBRP catback for my 2018 F250 6.2. What did you decide to go with and are you happy with your choice?

I also did the muffler delete and left the 2 resonators. Good tone, no drone!

You going to get a hard time from the dealership (should you have it in for anything that has them looking under the truck) for deleting mufflers or resonators? I would like a little better sound (but nothing obnoxious that'll draw too much attention or make my neighbors hate me) but don't want to waste the warranty on a brand new truck. 2018 6.2L

No dealership is going to care if you delete the muffler. Won't affect warranty at all.

I put a flowmaster cat back system on my 2016 6.2 ccsb and wasn’t happy with the sound. I then removed the small coffee can resonator and it sounds a little better. I’m now thinking about removing the first resonator but I am nervous that it might be too loud. Currently I don’t have any drone and I tow a heavy fifthwheel. I was looking at a y pipe made by dynomax because I didn’t want my factory resonator hacked up Incase I went back to stock. Has anyone used the dynomax 54739 which is part of there cat back system?

Just put the Magnaflow 19351 on my 2017 yesterday. A little deeper burble at idle. Only put 30 miles on it, will follow up when I get some road time with it.

I did a muffler delete on my 2018 CCSB about one month ago, and it was too loud when pulling a trailer at big throttle openings. My muffler delete consisted of a short section of pipe and a 3" Vibrant stainless steel 12 inch long resonator. The stock 3.5" tail piece was left in place. It was noticeable around town unloaded and OK on the highway. But when pulling a trailer it was too loud. 6th gear at 1,900 RPM was annoying, 5th gear was better. Yesterday I changed out the straight pipe and Vibrant muffler section and replaced it with a 3" Dynomax Ultra-Flo round muffler. Still a straight through design so not much restriction. It's about 30% quieter that the straight pipe and a little louder than the stock muffler. It is a good compromise. Yes, I could have (and should have) used a oval offset in / offset out muffler, which would have been quieter. Might have been too quiet. A 22" long (case length) Magnaflow/Max Flow/Ultra Flo would have been too quiet.

I'll follow up when I pull the trailer with it.

I'm cat deleted and the small muffler/resonator deleted. The rest is stock. And it sounds great IMO. A little rank on cold starts and then settles right down to almost silent at an idle. Warm starts let out a satisfying rumble at kick off and then real quiet unless your foot is far in it. I pull a three horse trailer with it and never a complaint from the passengers. It's also tuned so no codes.

Has anyone done an electronic cut out on the newer F250? I’m thinking about doing one on my and using my upfitter switches for opening and closing when I want some noise.

On my 2011 I did the large Magnaflow and cut out the rear resonator and left the front. I ran 3 1/2". It has a nice rumble with no drone in the cab at all. It did not help milage or power at all, In fact I might have lost a little, but it is very minute and hard to tell fore sure.
