OK this is the week im gonna finaly gonna order my exhaust. Right now im leaning tward the mangaflow 4" turbo back stainless steel with a 5" tip. I found that for 365.00 on line. I know shipping will be more but i was trying to get some input on here one last time before i ordered anything. Does anyone have any advice on some exhaust that might be better or will sound better without overwelming the cab? Any tips will be appreciated!!!

 

I have DPPI cat back SS dual system very nice quality but was more money than what your looking at. Has polished 5 inch tips very nice.

 

I have the Magnaflow which so far I like. Not loud at all but you can hear it's there (mostly at first start up). The turbo whine is very evident which is expected since I had the square down pipe with the reynolds wrap on it. Didn't like having to take off the trans x-member to tilt the tranny down 6 - 8" to get enough clearance to drop the down pipe out. The installation instructions called for removing the tranny x-member, front stabilzer bar bracket/link, transmission dip stick tube and front shock (all on passenger side). I did all that except remove the shock. I don't know if I didn't have to do that since I cut the down pipe with a recip saw. Anyway, if you get a Turbo Back System I'd imagine you'll have to do more work with any brand you buy. At the moment I'm chasing a hissing sound which I acquired after the install. I must have pulled/loosened something. HTH

 

please guys i see that there are a lot of people viewing this and just a few posts.

 

I mainly post on a different forum. The concensus on that forum is the DPPI turbo back. Now it comes that you can just bolt you cat. back in or bolt a cat. delete pipe in. It is more money than you are talking, but I assume you are talking a cat-back system.

I didn't reply at first because I haven't modified my trucks' exhaust. Aren't you concerned about the possible negative effects on your warranty?

I don't think that an exhaust would effect your warranty. The main reason people install an exhaust is to lower EGTs. These trucks under extreme condition can exceed 1300 degrees EGT, so it is explainable why you upgraded the exhaust. I am on these diesel forum a lot and have never heard of a dealer giving anybody trouble over a aftermarket exhaust.

no my only concern is that i want new exhaust i dont mind it being a little louder i just dont want to have to blair the raidio or yell when im on the highway curising at 75 or 80!!!

 

Beg to differ...
MY dealer said NO TURBO BACK Exhaust...
Cat-back are fine, but no turbo back...

Didn't ask him at the time why, but will next time I'm in....
(and please don't spout the MM act -
I know about it and it won't help me short of attorneyys and LOTS of money )

 

Do yourself a favor and read the owners guide on warranty. Then go into it informed. If the service person says "no problem" get it in writing. Generally shouldn't be a problem, but if there is a costly replacement (i.e. engine) that could be a problem.

 

I have a magna flow 4 turbo back. had to reinstall the cat after the dealer said they would void my warranty. love the sound not to loud. If i Did it again i would just get a cat back system.

 

I see. Thank you.

SBV45 - good cover to get it in writing, but unless it's the GM or owner, it's probably not worth squat...
And besides, the dealership is not the warrantor, Ford is and I have a feeling their take is
"blame it on whatever YOU changed"...

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to mod my truck, but I go into it knowing there are risk involved...

 

What is the muffler delete that I keep reading about??

 

thanx for all the advice so far i hate that as of right now it is still a tie. Those are the two that im torn against right now
