Yeah the Flowmasters are not stainless right?

 

Yeah, just mild steel.

 

As mild as the TRD exhaust is, it's stainless and mine is holding up perfectly we'll even with all the salt after 11+ years of use on the truck. It does sounds better now that the 2 rear cats are gone too though...

 

There is no exhaust that can help the hoover drone from the F150, but I do like rolling the windows down and listening to the turbos.

Fortunately the exhaust on the '69 sounds good enough that it almost makes up for the noises from the Ford. And the poor gas mileage

 

Drew @tacobell007 I used to love the sound of the Dynomax super turbo muffler that I had on my old car. Problem is they didn't last long at all. You should take a look at the Stainless Works brand mufflers. All stainless and should sound good too

 

I've heard the high end units like Borla supposedly have no drone but they're like $1k!

 

I was so excited when I test drove a 2.7 and found out how quiet it is. It's nearly silent and that's very appealing to someone like me with the mind of a 70-year-old.

 

Generally speaking I do enjoy that you can't hear much from the cab; it's well-insulated for sound. But during the summer when I have the windows down I wish it made a better noise, lol.

Yeah, not worth it. The piped-in pretend sound isn't bad, for $1k.

 

Or even worse, one BIG stack, like 8 inches, not quite centered.

 

I had Corsa cat back duals on my GMC and it sounded good at all RPM's.

 

Hey now.
That's how you got to know all of my inner secrets.

 

Yeah, but your GMC wasn't a small-displacement twin turbo V6, lol.

 

Nope, just some shit black paint came on the 44 series

I'd need to do research again simce it is a 4cyl and try to avoid the weedwhacker sound that a lot of 4cyl motors get. Black Widow makes some nice sounding exhausts but I haven't looked inti them too much

I didn't say you had to share the secrets!

 

Cupcake's RAV4 pipe lasted12 years . still the original muffler

 

Can confirm, I think that situation happened once or twice on Saturday/Sunday

 

That F150 made my Tacoma sound like it was built in 1960. The difference in noise levels was unbelievable.

I thought the pretend sound is only Lariat and up? I didn't get any noise out of the XLT I drove.

 

I'll just weld a 55 gallon metal barrel in the front of the bed, pipe the exhaust to it and get a smoke tune.

 

I thought the pretend noise was on the Ecoboost engines because they're otherwise really quiet. Ford does do a really good job sound proofing their cabs. I love how quiet they are if you need them to be. Windows up at highway speed I can use my Iphone on speaker and hear just fine.

 

Black widow is very nice quality
