i have been searching a lot looking for an exhaust system for my f250 v10. i have not had much luck. i perfer dual exhaust. i have been told by a few people that with the dual exhaust it does not sound that good. any opinions? and it is better to go with something custom? what do you guys think?

On the V10 anything loud sounds terrible. That V10 just doesn't sound like a v8, and most loud exhaust or dual exhausts will make it worse. To get a good sound, I recommend our FullBlown 50 series. I have not personally heard a V10 with our muffler on it, but one of my customers told me it sounded really good.

 

V10s sound different...period. I have heard several V10s (vipers mainly and a few V10 Fords) with aftermarket exhaust and what seems to make the best sound is large diameter tubing. There is a guy in town with a V10 truck with exhaust and it definetly sounds different, but hey, at least it is unique. I am not a fan of chambered mufflers at all for flow, but they do usually have a great sound and deepen the exhaust note.

where can i get your muffler? what does it cost? i was also told the samething by a mechanic at the ford dealer yesterday.

 

Nice product plug.



The V10 has a unique sound and if you don't like it keep on a very quiet exhaust or buy something with a V8.

Sound also depends on headers, cat, exhaust configuration and pipe size as well as the muffler.

I prefer a packed muffler whether SS wool or glass. I don't care for chambered mufflers.

I have pics in my gallery of my exhaust set-up.

 

The packed mufflers probably flow better, but I think you would need the chamber to get it to sound right. The packed mufflers will tend to make the V10 sound less like a truck and more like a race car. Not a desirable thing.

 

There is a spot in rpm range on the V10 between 2200rpm to 2800rpm that does not sound the greatest no matter what muffler is used. However the sound deepens when under a good load or towing.

I've heard some V10's will Flowmasters already, wasn't too appealing to me but thats just me. I did however think the flowmaster 40 sounded better the 50.

One of the best sounding V10s I've heard was on Mudd Racing's site. It had set of Banks headers a high flow cat and a little dynomax race bullet single 3" exiting in front of the passenger tire, it sounds great to me but no doubt on the loud side.

If you want duals I would go with a 3"in/Dual 2 1/2"out muffler and split to the duals from there. You should get good sound and power from that set-up.

 

i talked to a lou's custom exhaust and he said he has done a bunch of v10 f250s. i believe him because he has 10 shops in New England. so i am going to let him do it

 

Lou's is a great place. I trust them 100%. I've had my exhaust done by them on other trucks and on friends trucks. Never had an issue. Good call.

 

yea im going to lou's tomorrow morning at 8am. ill post some picks when it is done

 

Good luck. Take some pics and let us know how she sounds. Maybe a video clip will be in order?!?!?!?

 

i would post a video clip but i dont think that my digital camera can take sound
