Question Another Exhaust Question

As you can see..Im a new guy to the forum...been readin threads for a few days now...this site kicks ***...

Im runnin a 2002 F250 6.8 V10 4x4 Off Road..all black...black leather interior...carbon fiber trim...35" tires...thats it for now...

I want to put on an exhaust...dual rear would be prefered...but I dont want the truck to be overly loud though.....Im kinda lookin for a sound like the 5.0 mustangs had...kinda throaty I guess...but of course I still want people to know...Im running the 6.8 V10 and extra MPG and HP would be great too...


Thanks Guys

The V-10 will never sound like a V-8, it just won't. You can spice it up a bit and make it louder or real loud, but it's still a V-10. You can get some of the rumble you're looking for with various aftermarket mufflers. Alot of the guys here like the Flowmaster 40 series, but they are quite a bit louder than the 50 series. But the V-10 has an inherent Indy car-like scream, not the low, watery exhaust pipes sound of the Mustangs. Do a search and listen to some of the sound files, they're very representative of what your truck can sound like with a muffler swap. But the only way to get that V-8 sound would be to swap in a V-8, sorry, but that's the facts.

Click on the URL at the bottom of this post to visit my web page. I have a clip there of my V-10 with Banks headers and a Gibson cat-back single exit.


Best regards,

Jeff

Here's the link to the site: http://www.lovzfms.com/flows.htm
The files are kinda big so it will take time to load.

I kinda like JKBridges setup but the FLOW 40 sounds deeper to me.

Hey Heavy,

You are correct! The Gibson muffler is pretty mild. No where near the tone of a Flowmaster 40 Series.

I added the cat-back as my first exhaust mod. I could tell a slight difference in tone, but not too much. Then I added the headers. It really "deepened up" the tone. If I were to go to the Flowmaster 40, I believe that it would sound even deeper. Still not like a V8 though...


Best regards,

Jeff

Cool, good luck getting your dream truck put together exactly like you want it upon your return. I think there's lots of americans who don't say it, or don't say it enough; "Thanks for being there for America". I did my stint in the service, but it was just after the Vietnam era, and returning servicemen were not highly regarded then. We were spit on, called names, flipped off, called baby killers, it was not real pleasant. But thankfully millions of us have stood up when it was time and gave all if necessary to keep America free. So thank you, peace bro.
