Smile Which exhaust????

Hi guys, I'm looking at getting an exhaust for my 05 f-250 cc. I know I want t304 ss. I'm torn between MBRP and Magnaflow, unless someone thinks there is something better. My biggest concern is I dont want the resonating Drone noise in the cab. Any thoughts and help would be great. Thanks!

It's more about ease of fitment, but they are both good systems. Basically a piece of pipe is a piece of pipe.

I have the MBRP turbo back stainless with cat and muffler delete and you would be surprised at how quiet it is in the cab. I have not used the muffler that came with it but I would guess it would be very easy to live with . It's fit and finish were great and installed very easy. I don't know first hand about the other systems but I agree with what Partsman said.

I have the 304SS Magnaflow turbo back system. Easy install and it sounds great.

I just put on a turbo back MBRP system saturday and I love it. There is very little drone in the cab but you can hear the turbo.

Magnaflow like many have said here http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/exhausts-mufflers/20A50221A1.aspx and also look at the MBRP system, ours currently comes with a free tip for right now http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/exhausts-mufflers/61A1966A0A0.aspx

I bought the MBRP Pro Series 304 stainless 4" turbo back kit. I am extremely happy with it. I bought it from http://www.dieselperformanceparts.com/ a sponsor here. They had excellent customer service and great pricing. (MBRP has a minimum price authorized dealers can sell for, so you will pay the same price at most FTE sponsors).

4"

I have the 4" turbo back and it has NO sound to it.... like a jet airplane.. maybe...MRBP,, easy fit.
OF course the eng bay is still a PSD... but the exhaust... nothing to worry about..

That I gained NO sound with the exhaust... It is more like a Whoosh out of the tail pipe.
The eng bay has all the nosie...Like a normal PSD.

I received NO performace increases or Mileage from this mod.

Was it worth it??? Maybe...

GOOD luck , hope you eng it...

It sounds like a jet because of the turbo acting like a muffler. If you were straight piped you'd still hear the woosh on idle, but sounds like a dirt tracker on WOT. The main benefit of the exhaust is EGT reduction. Sound is a bonus.
