Muffler rattles? Performance upgrade
My '06 F350 w/V10 seems to have an muffler rattle at shutdown especially. My guess is that there is at least one baffle broken. I tried a search for other instances of this happening thinking that I had seen the subject before but couldn't find again. I have two questions:
1. Have broken mufflet baffles been a problem with these 3 valve trucks?
2. Are there manufacturers other then Banks that have a single pipe replacement system - don't want duals. This F350 has a sway bar so a Gibson (used on earlier trucks) can't be used.
Thanks

Sure, flowmaster should have a SOS (single out side), magnaflow, Walker/dynomax. Thats all of the names I could come up with off the top my head.
Check your bushing though, your exhaust may be contacting something uder the truck and making that noise.

Thanks - I will take a look at their on-line catalogs to see what they offer.
Any problems with muffler internals break-up or do you just like the rumble and changed out anyhow - which is ALWAYS worth it

The heat shields on the exhaust are pretty notorious for rattling, I would check them before assuming it is a broken baffle, if you haven't already. I removed them on my 99 in order to get rid of the rattle.
