Default Bill/Cory Exhaust Thoughts

I did a search but didnt find anything, hope this has not been asked.

Anyway, I figure the guys doing the custom tuning around here have been around a dyno or 2 in their days...So my question is, have you noticed if any exhaust is "better" than the other? Now i know there is a fine line you guys probably have to walk because if you go and say Flowmaster (JUST AN EXAMPLE) performs the best on an F150, and all the guys here ran out and threw those on their trucks and felt like they lost power, or didnt gain any or whatever (people will look for reasons to complain) but I would really like to know, if you were to put an exhaust on your truck, what would you put on it?

Assuming you drive a truck (hopefully an F150 )


If its stock What exhaust would you put on it?

If its not stock, What exhaust do you have on it?

If its not stock, what exhaust would you wish you had gone with?

The real reason i ask is i know everyone here wants the biggest bang for their buck and are entrusting you with our money, and our trucks, so what exhaust would you recommend to work with your tunes...

Just curious

I run a Banks Monster exhaust on my truck and like it a lot.

Running stock still..maybe this sounds weird, but my exhaust sounds throatier with the custom tunes....it sounds like an aftermarket is on there...I don't see a reason to change it out yet.

One thing if you are going after market exhaust shopping, is take into account of where you live and what you do with the truck.

1. Spend the extra $ go stainless. That's what the truck has on it anyways.

2. Posted this earlier in another thread if you remove cats, install long tube headers, true duals or do anything with the "y" pipe(any combination of these) you may need to have Bill adjust your customs.

3. Types or styles or mfgs the sky is the limit!

4. I have Gibson si-do sweptside behind wheel same side outlets.

5. I love the way Gibson sounds. I have always had one of their systems in any truck I have owned. The cars have had their mufflers be cherry bombs or thrush turbos or purple hornies.

6. Made the mistake on my 06 and had straight out the back under the bumper exits. Didn't sound to great in the cab when echoing off the flat front of the trailor. The right side seat noise also increased on that trip. Sold that setup to my budy.

Whatever you think about to install it's out there to buy.

Lars

I think Lars has given you some excellent advice here, dplummer. I wouldn't worry at all about people recommending a specific brand - it's what we did when we told everyone how much we like the Gryphon!

I think all you can do is get user feedback on what they've tried. It's all pretty subjective, in my opinion. I know, for instance, there is a bed cover I would recommend (A.R.E. - what I've had on two trucks now) and a brand I would not recommend that I had once - but I won't say the name publicly.

- Jack
