This probably one the most posted questions. Do a search and you'll see what everyone's opinions are. The most common use seems to be a Flowmaster single in and dual out conversion. The one thing different in this V-10 is the firing impulses are such that a chambered type, like the Flowmaster muffler is a necessity for sound. Any open, straight thru type, or diesel model (again an open type) will give you a very blatty sound, much like a 4 cylinder ricer on steroids. The length of the exhaust system is very susceptible for a bad resonance right in the engines torque peak. So research this well prior to spending your bucks. There are lots of sound clips here on FTE V-10, check em out, Ken

I am the old phart here that is usually cautioning aginst most mods. (mostly bang for the buck reasons, I am NOT against modifing our trucks) I posted a few times on the 05 exhaust system back when I got my new 05 truck last Sept Oct.

Welcome to and our V10 obsession.

If you ever get a chance climb under a 99-04 V10 first.

Then get on a creeper and take a very close look at your new 3valve V10s exhaust system and you will see why I don't think you can do much too it. MUCH better system now.

Yes a new can (muffler) back by the rear axle will get you some noise but I doubt you can improve much preformance with the change.

Congrats on the new ride now wipe that BSEG off your face! Opps, sorry I still have mine too!
