Exhaust pipe size
After Catylitic converters and before the Y on a 2007 F150 5.4L truck. I am wanting to cut just before the Y and run a true dual system. I need to know the size of the pipe? I am guessing 2.25" but it could be as big as 2.5".
Thanks,
Thanks,

I hope it uncorks it and it sounds better than it does. I will get pics up when I am done. I just ordered all the parts so they should be here by the end of the week. Called my buddy with the shop and welder and we might even do it this weekend if all goes right.

Magnaflow DIDO 18" or 22" muffler, whichever one my local shop can get cheaper at dealer cost. I am torn to have more sound or not, so I will let fate choose my destiny.
Ok, NOW I'm jealous. Let me know how it turns out and I may end up doing the same thing with an X-pipe where the Y is....

You can use a magnaflow DIDO with the x pipe in the muffler. It'd be easier to run and cheaper.
The shorter the muffler the louder.
2.5" true duals is almost to big.
2.25" is what I'm runing with a homemade x pipe (thingy ma jig). Flows great, and sounds just as good.
You should be really happy with the sound after you're finished.
Good luck.

On another note, I found a local shop that would do the install for $159 including the muffler. I have all the bends already and tips so it looks like this is going to cost me $259, not bad.
