Best exhaust for 5.4L
Some opinions, if you please.
I'd like to research a new exhaust system for my 2002 F-250 5.4L. Is there a combination out there that offers a little more torque and gas mileage without being too loud? I'm interested in a nice rumble, not an ear-splitting explosion. Thanks! |
Good question I would like to know too.

I have the Flowmaster Super 44 with 3" pipe and 4.5" stainless steel tip exiting in stock location.

flowmaster and jba get my vote. i have used both and they have great sound with minimal cab noise. don't go gibson. the cab noise will give you a headache.

If you're just going 'cat back' make sure that you remove the two restrictions near the y-pipe. A guy on ebay sells a nice piece that will fit right up. If you're going complete exhaust from the manifolds...you've already got it covered.
Search Ford Y pipe on ebay |
I love my Magnaflow. A nice low rumble down low that almost disappears in the high RPM's, and little to no interior noise. Sadly, I may be ditching it for something louder. I want my truck to have some real bark to it. I know it just ain't possible, but I want her to sound something similar to a Cobra with SLP Loudmouth exhaust.

It's a 3" SI/SO and I believe it's an 11". Great sound, but not as loud as I'd like it to be. Maybe it's due to my uber restrictive stock Y-Pipe or cat, but I'm not sure.

Search Ford Y pipe on ebay In theory, these should be outstanding. |

Good point, I didn't pay attention to the year model of the OPs truck. That factory Y-pipe is junk. Just me mindfull of the basic physics of exhaust, scavenging is key. I still would like to see someone try... Zoomers Exhaust Works - Performance Exhaust Systems, Exhaust Tips, and Cat-backs
In theory, these should be outstanding. |

My neighbor's exhaust dumps in front of the right rear tire. His is a SI/DO muffler. Maybe that makes a significant difference. He said that was the only thing that he installed (no cat removal or headers).
On the topic of Y-Pipes, I thought I saw one somewhere that was a complete bolt-in, all the way up to the flanges that bolt to the manifolds. |
Maybe not. I couldn't find it on fleabay or anywhere else for that matter. I have a hard time believing the claimed +33HP that the SDP Y-pipe adds.
