Great video. Can you take apart the stock Muffler to show us what's inside it may be cut it in half?
I like this idea!
Great idea but I think that's What's inside's job🤔😂
@Furn333 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wicked Pissah Cool sound!
Yes please
1:35 stock
7:55 new exhaust
Ur welcome
Lol. Thank you
Faith in humanity restored.
Thanks
Thank you
A before and after exhaust video needs no more than 30 seconds to convey the sound difference... 🤦♂️
Takes off huge quiet muffler* puts on another huge quiet muffler*
😂😂😂😂😂 True.!!!
My thoughts exactly, my little Hemi Magnum is louder at idle.
My thoughts exactly should’ve just straight piped it
Not much louder but it sounds way better
@THAT Guy the muffler doesn't affect emissions testing, seriously. Wtf does a sound dampening device have to do with clean emissions?
Iranian generals don’t like “drone on the highway” either.
Damian Grouse HAHAHAHA UNDERRATED COMMENT
Omg I’m dead 😂🤣
Erik *PKMG* so is the Iranian general.
Neither do Afghani Civilians...
Kevin Lynn Someone should tell the combatants to wear uniforms so no one aims at supposed “civilians”.
Doesn’t want drone, adds the most drone prone muffler lol
Hehe! Flowmaster is the drone King 😁 thankfully the 50 series is it loud enough to drone😁
Exactly
Aka dronemasters.
Painfully true, I love the Flowmaster sound at idle and WOT which is why I run them, but my Super 10s leave my babies miserable in the back.
Shit masters
It sounds pretty good, but there's definitely no spine-tingling going on. I don't think it needs to be "annoy your neighbors" loud, but there's definitely room for improvement, to my ears.
Agreed.
Take the resonator off and it will. That being said you will not like the cab noise if you do that. I had a series 40 on my 2017 6.2. Never thought I would say something was too loud before.
It's a Ford it will never sound like a Harley
Exhaust cutout is in order!
I think yall may have been better off w a single outlet muffler and dual tips if yall wanted that look plus crisp and quiet all in one. Velocity has a lot to do w sound quality. The 50 series on my a-body has way less drone and a crisper tone than the same muffler w the same cid in a camaro. Camaro is dual exit model.
"I need more cow bell..."
You got the fever?
There's only one cure for a fever.
@@adamradtke1029 More Cow Bell!!
Somebody call a doctor, I have a bad case of bogey fever!!!
Don't fear the reaper
I absolutely love the sound. Just enough change to be noticeable without being annoying. Great job guys!
"I don't want drone.." but installs a flowmaster exhaust....
Yea I thought the same exact thing. Trust me I know about Flowmasters....errrr uh otherwise known as Dronemasters!
Didn't drone on my 4.7l V8 Dodge Ram
@@urznightmare they drone on my 02 5.3 Tahoe but not bad.
Literally my thought.
@@Brandonbaughman he should of gone with magnaflow or the flow-50 series
Some dude with a sawzall: "First huh. You sure about that?"
Some oil field guy is already running open headers
@@zacklance7798 i doubt headers are out already
@@james10739 open headers just means removing all exhaust components except for the headers themselves, they arent an aftermarket add on
@@Zoom-ui2pf well in sure they dont come with headers do you mean just unbolted from the exhaust manifolds
@@james10739 your comments made me loose brain cells... just cut the exhaust pipe off above the y pipe and take everything out. Open headers.
It’s so quiet, just straight pipe it.
I've been an LS enthusiast for years and years but I'm kind of curious how this engine is going to work out once the aftermarket takes full effect. It could be a huge game changer for ford.
I hope the 7.3s are readily available in the future like 6Ls are. Hopefully it'll fit in a Fox body and on up easily. Hopefully there are at least cams, headers and intake manifolds available. The 6.2L Sohc still hasn't taken off like it should have.
hendo337 I’m really hoping to swap it into place where a 460 would have been. High torque big cube work like in a truck, big lincoln, etc.
You shoulda added a clip right after the exhaust was cut off and before they installed the new one!!
That's an unspoken rule of exhaust mods. Always start it without anything on.
@@I5ZQ8 agreed when I did my 5.7L hemi and started with no muffler I thought I had a Big block race car!
First thing we did when adding kooks long tubes to my brothers 2000 ws6 and long tubes to my cammed and punch 302 was fire them up and bask in the unadulterated glory that is open header exhaust.
Teenage me: Straight pipe that big block! Adult me: Oh that sounds just right. Great video guys!
Mason Seigerman So true.
Exactly my words
maturing tastes haha
I still prefer a louder exhaust. Not a straight pipe or glass pack. But definitely louder. I could also see the majority of the older market (40+) wanting this sound level and tone
SO true.
Let me show you this 50 series “slowmaster” and how it robs horsepower
Right
Wait what? How old are you? Back in my day Flowmaster was EVERYTHING.
@@TheBattleBranchBoys not as old as us...the 40 series Flowmasters on my supercharged mustang didn't "rob" any horsepower I'm pretty sure. I mean I probably made a few more hp when I'd unbolt the exhaust from the h-pipe. Probably kids with Hondas bad-mouthing Flowmaster, lol.
"Now we're going to give it the beans" hahaha, I've never heard that before. Going to bank that for sure and use it some time!
That's an old North Eastern saying, iv heard alot of newyorkers( not the city folks) say that,matter of fact Eric at south main auto uses that phrase alot, here in the south east we say something like "kicker in the ass"
We all going to miss this sound when electric trucks take over.
thts why imma keep my ol diesel going
@@HuntGamingProductions AMEN to that BROTHER, I've had mine 20 years now with no problems and I hope to keep her another 20... 👍👍

Don’t worry. That will never happen. The ICE isn’t going anywhere anytime soon
@@patterguitsit7124 that and being able to refuel in 3 minutes. And having a 500 mile range.
MPG sneak peak at 3:52
14 MPG with an average speed of 33 MPH over the last 330 miles isn’t bad for that size engine and truck, looks promising!

There's always the pillow.
@@gen-x-zeke8446 that's for biting
He should have put the 44 or super 40s. But flowmaster has a lot of drone. They should have gone to borla or corsa.
Lmao i don't know if i should give that a thumbs up or not!
Does she have flowmasters installed?
Will be interesting to hear the 7.3 with a Corsa system on it instead of a cheap Flowmaster
Seth Cortez corsa is just an expensive glasspak. There is engineering and design inside flowmasters.
@@derrickbullock5011 I feel like you read that off the box.
@@derrickbullock5011 That's a joke. Corsa spends so much money on fluid dynamics to eliminate drone on certain systems. Any exhaust that comes out of a box and is "universal" is going to sound like trash. And by the way, i dont see Corsa on the shelf at autozone, but i sure see flowmaster, that's enough for me to stay away :)
ToAstYNaChO magnaflow is pretty good from what I have heard.
@@derrickbullock5011 not sure if that's supposed to be a joke, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Corsa kits are designed individually for each vehicle that they are released for unlike Flowmaster where its just the same muffler sold at AutoZone and a piece of tubing. I have a Corsa cat back on my 6.2L Raptor and compared to both my friends who have Flowmasters on their Silverados and my friend with a Flowmaster system on his F150, my truck is the loudest on start up, loudest at full throttle, is the quietest when cruising with zero drone at all (and mine doesn't have the resonator), and actually changes its tone and aggression depending on rpm instead of just being so deep it hurts. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine with a Flowmaster but if you want actual sound quality Corsa blows them out of the water.
I want to hear a no cat straight pipe on one.
I want to hear headers, de-cat, true duals with a straight through dual 3" in dual 3" out Magnaflow internal Xpipe muffler.
Julian Scott true dual straights 6 inch tips
Why are catalytic converters hated so much?? I’ve worked in the automotive industry for decades and modern engines (at least since 06+) *_with the catalytic converters_* perform very well. A decent cat back exhaust can liven up the sound without killing off the environment and brain cells...
@@whodahellru8124 your obviously not a mechanic, let alone have any basic common sense.
Joe Nobody Please explain to me how you came to this conclusion?
If you guys are going to keep telling everyone it's a big block (which it's not because of the bore spacing), people want to actually hear it. For as quiet as it is, the fact that you got dual tips, and the price of what you did, you should run true dual exhaust, 2.5 piping (because it's not a big block with 3" piping coming off of the exhaust manifolds), an H or X pipe to balance out each side, and two Flowmaster Super 40 Series mufflers. The Super 40 series mufflers have large internals for larger engines and give a deep muscle car sound without all the spit. If you guys were gonna do what you did, the 50 series H.D. muffler is what you should have used. The muffler you have is to quieten down big engines that don't have a stock muffler anymore and people want to be quiet, like say a tow truck or motorhome.
“6 dB isn’t a lot”.... remember dB is a logarithmic scale. 103 is twice the intensity of 100, 106 is twice 103 and so on. I think you’re underestimating your gains! Sounds good to me
Came here to say this. Amazing how many people dont get that. I just love seeing those "250db" train horns on facebook marketplace...
I made a post saying this, scrolled down to see yours and deleted mine, have a thumbs up.
That was also the first thing on my mind, but then I thought, this is some macho man video, and the truck sounds darn great, so physics 2 can take a back seat in the mean time, Lol!
Sometimes the sound in person doesn't always carry over to the video. I love hearing an angrier sound...
Especially on UA-cam!
UA-cam has a sound thing that makes the volumes on all videos consistent - unfortunately, this means it messes with the amplitudes of various frequencies....
You cannot turn off this feature, either, unfortunately :(((
I’m used to open header dirt cars and straight piped dump trucks so this still sounds stock to me lol
No shit...what up Mr. Shackleford?
This is NOT a big block. It's a large small block. What determines if a v8 is a small block or big block is the BORE SPACING. This engine is in line with Gen III Hemi's and Gen V Small Blocks. In case you guys don't know, Chevrolet has been doing an LS454 crate engine for years now. No sarcasm, just being informative.
This is a great balance of fun and excitement while still being responsible and not annoying your neighbors. Sounds really good
Should have done IKE before changing stock parts.
I think they did all the Ike testing with the tremor they had the office a few weeks ago and are using that as baseline. It’s still embargoed till next week, that is why we have not seen those videos yet. They also already have some Moab and comparison tests against AT4 and Silverado that they have not published yet. Give it time.
I had a Gibson duel stainless system on my last Gasser Ram 2500 and the sound of that truck was like no other.
You know this is a motoring channel watched by knowledgeable motoring people when you you put a caption "engine up to temperature" when you do a engine rev. Best automotive channel on UA-cam.
I love those big flowmasters, good choice. I had a 70 series I believe on a RAM 1500 a while back and it was perfect.
Lol it was the Ram that made it perfect.
I've got a super 44 on my Silverado. Has a nice deep throaty rumble and sound but not too loud inside
@@DurkinDurks awesome! Glad you like it. Enjoy it 😁👍
Not loud enough! Come on this is a man’s channel!!
Perfect in my opinion. Deeper tone and still not an anointing sound inside.
What I think is Tommy is rockin the Denim and sheeps wool jacket. My favorite until I grew to big and they do not make them in enormous. Ford still sounded like a 6 cylinder need a more robust sound.
It’s never enough! More Powah!!!
SPEEEEED POWAAAA

He charged you $500 and took 4 days to finish it 😂
It was a custom install. So yes. Labor and parts.
@@MrComputerCoder Custom install at my local exhaust shop is $150 for what they had done and it only takes the guy about an hour to do duals on a normal truck.
Point Break it wasn’t worked on for four days. It sat in the yard for 3 and on the forth day it took 3 hours to do it. That is if the tail pipes needed to be cut bent.
He helped his sister move with it first.
Yeah that's like a half hour to an hours worth of work. Should've had the pipes on hand and as popular as cheap garbage flow masters are they very likely had that on hand as well. Simple chop, swap, and weld job. Would've paid about $200 give or take a few dollars where I'm at.
You know its a good muffler when your muffler guy looks at the Flowmaster part number and tells you, oh........this is a quiet muffler while nodding his head smiling. Thats what happened when I showed up at my muffler guys shop with my F150 and wanted to get a Flowmaster 50 Series delta flow installed. I cant remember the last time I spent so much time researching how loud and not droney it would be. Its a catback style just like the one you guys put in this video and sounds so goood. Mellow and not noticeable until youre really on it or revving the sh*t out of it and it pop pops too! Good stuff doods
I had the same big block Flowmaster muffler with single 3” exit pipe on my 5.3 Avalanche. Nice deep Flowmaster tone, no drone.
Borla s type is awesome! They dont sound loud at idle but when you step on it they sing!
We need mpgs without trailer
Issac Lopez I believe the mileage it’s going to get is “truck”.
I want to know if it gets 9mpgs combined I'll keep what I have if it get 15mpgs I might get one
When he showed what the speed was set to it said 14.0 avg. who knows that they have been doing tho lol
14 avg.. I saw it one of the shots in the video.
@Individual-1 Prison Bound I have a f650 with the v10. It averages 4mpg partly because type of work, partly because the driver is an asshole. What's you mpg?
@TFLTruck I can see your sound meter is set to measure dbA. This is a scale suited to measuring speech/voices - it rolls off the low and high frequencies. If you could set it to measure dbC or Flat that will give you a more accurate measurement.
I put 40 series on my 2017 ford f150. Sounds great, lots of compliments.
I'm sure Hennessy are working on some supercharged madness for that engine. 😀
@I know you are right, And I just got owned but: yeah im sure this pushrod, non-mds, iron blocked behemoth of a motor is just SOOO weak.
@I know you are right, And I just got owned but: dude this truck just came out and you're already hating on it? At least give it a year before your keyboard commando comes out. Sounds like someone needs to attend the Players Haters Ball.😁
@I know you are right, And I just got owned but: it's not really a turd it just came out give it some time to prove itself. Oldschool pushrod v8 cast iron block is pretty stout could easily handle another 100-200 horse no problem.
I know you are right, And I just got owned but: nice name bro😂🤟🏻
@@thejuiceisloose8703 That twat is hating on EVERY video of this 7.3L V8 Gas Engine...I will bet 5 bucks he has a "Government Motors" or a "RAM IT" up my ass because I like it! LMAO!
"there is no one around me" as car after car pass him lol
8:30 looks like I can take a nice shower under the tailpipe
I have Flowmaster Delta 50 series on my 6.8L V-10, sounds good too and no drone.
Should of went with the 10 series 🤪
Totally agree! I have the 10 series on my Tundra and it’s awesome.
I’m running the outlaws on my 5.0 and it’s insanely loud lol
Chrispy841 YES!!! I’m disappointed. This 50 series is not what I expected them to go with.
You got jokes!!!!
"Should of" lol
I think we need more sound
muffler delete and leave resonators, hemis sounds great with that done
Levi Kroeker I have true duals with a x pipe no muffler no resonators every time I go for I drive i smile
only problem with Hemis is they are built by Dodge
Long tubes, cat delete, 3.5 inch straight exhaust with a turn down behind the axel that points at the ground so the sound bounces off the ground and out. Throw in a mild cam, intake and a tune and you will have a nice set up
7:57 first start , nothing exciting
man i cant wait for the driving impressions of this v8
Seems like the perfect exhaust upgrade without sacrificing every day driveability. You achieved a better tone with a slight increase in volume.
Full straight pipe, true duals, one one the Flowmaster Super series mufflers. 🦅
I just purchased a 2019 6.2 in November of last year, went drove a 7.3 yesterday, my salesman said are you sure you want to do this? Lol! Yeah I should have waited but oh well the money saved buying the 2019 6.2 with all the rebates was well worth, I'll get a 7.3 later.
Yeah let them work the lil first gen problems out first
Needs true duals with two flow masters stacked on their side
I love Dan at monster muffler, he did my rock crawling land cruisers and my a7’s exhaust. Been going to him for years and I’ll take my cars to him for all the years he’s still in business.
7:13 is when they finally start the damm thang
I had the same setup in my 08 Ford Expedition, the sound will get louder as you break into the new muffler.
Chambered mufflers dont break in. Theres nothing to break in. Its packed mufflers that have a break in period. Chambered muffler is literally just metal welded together that doesnt move.
andre is holding up traffic lol, look at everyone passing him.
An accurate representation of 90% of people who buy super duties. They enjoy going slower while filling up on a gas more, just to boost their ego because it's "badass", and be a dick to everyone on the road. Will never need the payload/towing capacities past a medium duty truck either.

I love the accuracy on this show.
I favor the Twister from FloPro. I’ve ran it on my ol ‘95 F-150 w/ 5.0 then on my 2010 Raptor w/ 6.2L. It had the Flowmaster and I wanted my control sound. The longer you stand on a Twister the louder she gets but yet you can cruise at highway speeds in comfort. Keep up the tests, I’m giving the 7.3L a year for any bugs to be worked out (that may come up) then I plan on getting one much to the specs y’all are running. 👍🏻👍🏻
I am so pumped you guys got the 7.3 gasser! Can’t wait for more vids!
Im already let down be the 7.3l's low power numbers in comparison to Chevy and Ram. Its already a flop in my mind because there is NO WAY ford out did Rams interior, and now it didn't really out power it either . Flop!
Johnny Turbo
The important spec is the torque it produces at low RPM. It’s been engineered to last as well. It’s not all about the high numbers at max RPM, but then again you’re Johnny Turbo! lol
@@gregdettling3600 true, I'll just stick with a Turbo Diesel. Makes more torque, can make more HP , more reliable and a good bit better MPG.
If had to go gasoline i would have to go with Rams power wagon 6.4 or chevys 6.2. To me the 7.3L of 2020 should dominate. But it doesn't
Johnny Turbo
Diesels are definitely the way to go if you’re pulling heavy loads all the time. But they seem to develop issues when you use them for daily drivers with lots of stop and go driving which I do. They cost about $8,000 more than the 7.3 though. No DEF and maintenance is cheaper on gasser engines. The Rams definitely have a nicer interior for sure. I’m stilling liking the Ford 7.3 more than the Ram 6.4 because it produces its high torque at such a low RPM like I said. It’s 10 speed and 4.30 rear end sounds like a good fit for hauling my 3500 pound camper around. Hell Im even a Ram guy currently. They apparently engineered this engine for its big trucks as well and built to last for the long haul.
I'm glad you guys do these tests. It clearly demonstrates to leave the stock exhaust on and save a lot of $ ;)
duggydo why do you say that? They didn’t do this to make it loud as hell. They did it to get a throaty sound and marginal performance. I’m sure they understand that they could have went super 10’s and pissed off the entire neighborhood.
TorezPc I’m being serious. It’s not worth the money to me based on what you get. They can afford to trick out the truck and show us the costs and results. I’m glad they do it.
Cant go wrong with flowmaster. Running a flowmaster 44 series on my 94 k1500 350. Great sound
I put that 50 series on a class c v10 motorhome. They sound very nice without being too loud. Great choice!
It needs true duel exhaust!!
n2snow , a big single gives better torque and performance under most conditions.
you guys are really making me want the 7.3 over the 6.2 on my next truck
i look forward to all the testing!
For only $2k it seems like an easy choice
personally i say may as well go for the 7.3. Unless you really want that couple extra MPG. Personally idc about the MPGs
tyler boyer i do about 60k miles per year (increasing each year) with maybe 800lbs payload of tools, maybe 1,000.
BUT the 7.3 is a simpler engine, less spark plugs too! hah
I just bought a 2020 F350 with the 7.3L Godzilla. I’m going to wait a while, but I’m also thinking it wasn’t much different. I’d think I’d want to go a little louder. My dogs don’t even hear me drive in the driveway anymore. My old O3 F350 with the 6.8L had separated just in front of the main muffler and it just sounded great and it wasn’t extremely loud to bug the neighbors either, that’s why I never fixed it.
great sound guys. I love it. My truck this year will definitely be a 7.3.
I can already hear the drone at highway speed through my speakers.
kerplunk especially on flowmasters, who have the most drone.
Ok boomer
Yep.. I had a catback exhaust on my Truck and and the drone was crazy bad especially with a cap on the bed.
Cheers!
50 series flows dont really drone at all. It's the 40 series that the drone sound is off the charts. 50s are a little quieter compared to the 40 but the 50 is much deeper much better sound quality.
Shannon Dingus I had the super 40 series took it off after about 1 year was bad drone
Ditch the resonators. And I would have used a straight through muffler design like a magnafkow.
If they would have used a Carven r series it would have been so much better
I too prefer the Magnaflow over Flowmaster. Flowmaster sounds the same on so many vehicles. The only vehicle we ever had that Flowmaster made sound better was an 88 IROC-Z with the 5.7L. I've heard Flowmaster on a number of Ford engines though, and they all sound similar. They sound hollow, and crackle on harder acceleration. Magnaflow seems to have a more "fine-tuned" sound, and sounds a bit different on different vehicles. I dunno. I know I love the Magnaflow on our 5.8L-powered F-150. Music to my ears.
I like magnaflows but flowmaster super 10s on my 5.7l ram sound great
@@therealDYL93
Bet they're not bad in the neighborhood with a light foot, but watch out if you get cut off! Them things'll light up the city block with full throttle.
@@TheUnsureFox yeah I like it loud though.
Stoked about the 7.3L series!!
I like that sound with the flow master muffler on. You can hear the engine roar but not overpowering.
Didn’t you guys traded in the ram in for the ford . I can see the ram in the parking lot .
To my ears is perfect like it is now. But I don’t like loud exhaust on a daily
Sounds perfect. Not loud and obnoxious.
Long tube headers, offroad pipe and then muffler! Nothing else! I had a 3V 5.4L in a 2004 F150 and it was the best sounding truck on the road. People used to chase me down and ask what kind of exhaust system I was running, truth!
Imagine that big block with an old school glasspack
Thomas Vittetoe hell ya I have a 75 super cab with a 460, dual glass packs poppin off
The best muffler for that truck for sure!
Ran glasspack on my AMC Javelin the entire 8 years I owned her...
U guys should have straight piped it everyone would have watched
Even just a start up at the muffler shop to know what it sounds like
Shoot, just get rid of the muffler and leave the resonators intact. No drone but it would growl.
This is excellent, just the mods people would do. Look forward to seeing what TFL does next with this truck. Would be curious to see what Godzilla sounds like with the 70 series and super 50 flowmaster.
Should have gone magnaflow
Or corsa
Nico Five’0 magnaflow is far more “affordable” than a corsa. I assume the mods they will be doing will be more budget friendly. Corsa is anything but budget friendly.
Corsa is my favorite, too expensive sadly...
Id have to disagree. Nothin beats a flowmaster imo
@@popwarhomie Flowmasters give that sound of "i've done 250,000 miles and never did a tune up and the bed is full of empty rattle cans."
Not loud enough but does sound good!
Every v8 needs true duels with 10” glass packs.
Ford PowerSmoke nah it needs some mini race bullets
Ford PowerSmoke nah straight piped from the headers
Ford PowerSmoke *pictures dual 10” glass packs dueling 🤺*
Totally would have went with something like a Magnaflow....will last much longer and wont drone like that Flowmaster will. But give you guys props for being the first ones to do it.
I prefer a straight through absorption muffler like magnaflow as apposed to a deflection like flowmaster.
The Rebel Rouser snickering in the corner 😏
Just had the Delta 50 muffler installed on my 2006 4.7L Tundra. I also kept the resonator and I think the sound and loudest is perfect.
Tbh, for that price you should have done 2.5 exhaust with true duals and an X pipe. If you ever decide to do the setup i suggest use the Flowmaster Super 40 series. You could actually use a dual in/dual out super 40 series. If you're not using one of the first 7 mufflers on Flowmasters chart from the loud side, your wasting your time. Imo, you might as well left it stock.
With all those resonators in place...I think just chopping the oem muffler and replace it with a pipe would work better....or with a Magnaflow type muffler.
With the size of the stock pipes, that's a good idea and more budget friendly. I'd just replace the muffler and straight pipe both resonators. It amazing how much those small resonators quiet the exhaust. I have a 04 Navigator with the 4V 5.4, & originally I just cut out the muffler & welded in a magnaflow, and I was a bit disappointed to say the least. Then I cut out the resonator that sits right in front of the tailpipe and straight piped it and wow it sounds much better.
Just wondering, why wasn't the other resonator taken off? I am asking this because I was expecting louder.
They should have done true duals with 2.5" pipe, an X-pipe, and 2 Flowmaster Super 40 series mufflers.
Resos typically kill drone but not in all cases
It looks like there was a muffler and 3 resonators total. They swapped out a muffler for a muffler and took one of three resonators off. If you pick the right muffler you don't need all that other crap.
You know what you need to add next? Train horn!
I've had a couple trucks using the 50 series flowmaster.. Love the sound of that.
"That was very interesting." The truck was louder on start up then quieted when resting idle was reached. Just like every other truck.... AMAZING!!!!!
$600 it's to quiet for me would have left it stock.
For $free I would just cut the muffler off

@@adrianszugye5929 no, the only reason people say not to put to big of exhaust is for proper exhaust scavenging. When you make it to big it slows the velocity of the exhaust and actually making it flow less.
I got a fairly similar job done, but kept it 1 3” in & out. Very happy with how the extra deeper notes change up the truck. If you’re looking for exhaust work and you live near annapolis maryland look into Maryland Muffler, they’re based in I believe Crownsville and Vince and the guys there are awesome people and work quickly but diligently.
As a tuning shop owner - ie, someone who does this a lot - here's my 2 cents nobody asked for:
Flowmasters have a distinct sound that is really unique, but that delta flow chamber sacrifices a lot of flow - which translates into less hp gained on the dyno. So unless the customer just really wants "that flowmaster sound" I don't use them.
I sell pretty much every brand, but for me there are 2 constant, known quantities: If the customer wants max performance but not a lot of sound volume, Magnaflow is always my recommendation. Can be a little pricey at times but great quality and always top performance.
If the customer is more price-conscious and/or wants a more aggressive sound, then it's MBRP. They're pretty much a race product and usually a lower priced option, which is perfect for some people. I say "some" because MBRP tends to be holy-fishsticks-that's-LOUD. I run an MBRP cat-back / side exit system on my personal truck (2018 F150 Coyote) and forget "aggressive," the word to describe it is "violent." But the truck also runs the 1/4 mile in 13.5 @101.9, so like a lot of choices in life you have to decide what's most important to you.
Awesome, even though no one really cares.
@@TheRoadhammer379 like I said, some free advice that's worth at least what you paid for it. ;)
Chambered flowmaster, good way to choke a big engine
First thing came to mind when i saw that muffler they should have went with borla or magnaflow or even corsa
Exactly! Just for credibility reasons. I spent quite a good amount of time in flow dynamics class with Chrysler and with the aircraft company I work for.
