I recently installed the Borla S-type on my 2020 F150 5.0 liter. Absolutely love it. The way the exhaust is designed, it's great for daily driving. Really nice cold start bark, has a great rumble while you're into the throttle, and lays quietly in the background during highway cruising. Doesn't have any annoying cabin drone. I don't know how the other exhaust systems in this video sound in person, but I definitely don't regret installing the S-type on my truck.
Just ordered mine for my 2019 Ford f150 v8..unfortunately realtruck.com said shipping it out is going to take longer than usual do to covid 19..i went with the side exit.. did you go side or rear exit?
@@MrSurprenant1 I went with the dual rear exit with black tips, though I'm sure the side exit will be a much quicker install. I've had it on my truck a few months now, and definitely no regrets. The cold start tone definitely gets your attention, but it will settle down a bit once it warms up. Hard throttle tone sounds simply amazing. As far as any cabin drone, you're not going to get much when you're cruising at average speed. I had my truck out on the Jersey turnpike the other day, and traffic was moving a good 75-80 mph. Not a ton of drone on flat highway, but going up an incline with the engine loaded at those speeds, yeah, there's gonna be a bit of exhaust drone in that case. That being said, I wouldn't even think of putting the factory exhaust back on. I think you'll be very pleased with the upgrade.
If you dont mind me asking where did you purchase your cat back..the company realtruck.com has poor customer service and real bad reviews..I cancelled my order through my credit card because I couldn't talk to no one at real truck.com didn't feel safe
@@MrSurprenant1 I got mine from Stage 3 motorsports. I ordered it online. Shipping was pretty fast and everything came neatly boxed up. I ordered my Bilstein leveling kit through Stage 3 motorsports as well. I've never had any issues with that company. They seem to have a pretty decent reputation.
I went with a Flowmaster American Thunder on my 5.4L. It was the perfect amount of loud and I got it on sale. If I get a V8 again, that's what I'll go with.
Flowmaster outlaw system is a head turner and sets off some sensitive car alarms with just a start up and almost any other alarm with a little rev. Really love it on my 5.0
Wheres the Corsa exhaust? Got it on my 16 f150 and also had it on my 16 5.0 mustang before i traded it in... wouldn't choose any other system. No drone and absolutely RIPS!
@@LiquidSm0ke Only 8 months later haha had steering wheel and floor vibration (not wheel balance issue) probly driveshaft or rear diff imbalance, shitty mt82 would clunk into gear intermittently and what not.. overall wasnt all to happy with the car for the 36k i paid, had performance pack and everything else. Was a Ford tech at the time so believe me when i say i tried what i could to alleviate the issues but was goin to be quite a bit of work on a NEW CAR with less than 6k miles on it at the time. now have a 11 CTS-V and wouldnt go back
If you want that Flowmaster sound without the excess volume, check out the Force 2 or the American Thunder. Both of which will be less aggressive than the outlaw system featured here- hope this helps! -Justin
Roush sounds the best. Had it 4 years, and no ones exhaust compares to it. I live in Texas, and trucks and exhaust go hand and hand. But if you don’t like drone, then Roush is not one to go with.
great video, but I think it would have added to it significantly if there was highway driving with a sound meter inside like in decibels or something. I want something that is a little bit louder than stock but still doesn't intrude on how quiet the truck is in the cabin
Thanks for watching, Sam! We appreciate the feedback too! If you're looking to hear your 5.0L just a little bit more but don't want to worry about drone, I'd highly recommend looking into more of the Magnaflow MF Series or Borla Touring Series systems. Both of those will give you more rumble than factory when you stomp your foot down but stay nice and quiet while cruising down the highway. Feel free to check out our site where you can find more information and more videos on each of those systems! -Zach www.americantrucks.com/f150-catback-2015.html
I went with the magnaflow and happy with it. Was thinking I should've gone borla, but in this video, may be it's just me, the magnaflow sounds a little deeper, borla is louder and a little raspy. Maybe it sounds different in person.
It's an option, but not the best if you truly want great sound. A lot of the tone is based on the tip design, and piping, etc. I have done 2 muffler only replacements on F150's, and have decided that you just don't quite get the sound of a full cat back.
The stock resonator has to be restrictive, it's is as big as a damn garbage can, the the stock muffler is huge as well. There is a big difference in aftermarket cat back systems.
The stock muffler and stock resonator are straight through design. I'm currently running just a MF muffler swap with resonator delete on my 15' 5.0 F150.
the audio is muffled in all of your soundclips. not just this video but others as well. remove the wind filter from the mic. I can't really tell what the trucks sound like.
Like the vid.. kool info.....I have a 2013 for f150 fx2... but sadly a v6... what whould be my options for my yr model or is there a vid like this on my yr of truck...
@@Gatorsrok No, it's not the exactly the same motor. The 18's come with the gen 3 Coyote which has both port and direct fuel injection as well as updated cylinder heads and spray bore cylinder liners which give it slightly more displacement. The HP is now 395 vs 385 in 2017.
just had that exact Outlaw series with the Super 10 muffler put on my 2014 Ford FX4 a week ago, with the black tips just the same out the back each side. I LOVE everything about it, EXCEPT THE DRONE SOUND you get between 60-75 mph on the freeway is unbearable. I'm surprised that they would make a system like this, which costs you a hard earned $1,100 out of your pocket, advertise it for these specific daily driver vehicles, and have a drone sound with this muffler where you can't even hold a conversation with your wife in the truck while cruising on the freeway. I have a '96 Camaro SS with the first SLP exhaust that came with no resonator, stock, that is louder than this truck but has zero drone on the freeway, so I know exhaust. That is a beautiful designed exhaust. So I'm used to loud exhausts. But this drone at a constant speed is unbearable. You can't exit your truck every time feeling like you just left a 2 hour concert standing next to the floor tower speakers. I just spent 4 hours putting Dynomat along the back wall of the truck cab wall, and as that helped take away some road noise, it did absolutely nothing for the drone. Waste of time and money even more. On this truck, there's 2 baffles along the back wall that you can't cover up because that helps release the air pressure inside the cab for when the AC kicks on and the windows are up. So I covered those up with plexiglass except at the 2 ends to still allow air flow through it for pressure release. But by doing that, it still allows sound inside the cab. The back windows obviously doesn't help to keep sound out either. And that all comes from the Super 10 muffler that unfortunately is 12 inches away right behind the back cab area. I'm going to have to go back and talk to them and see about the 40 muffler and if that'll help with the drone while hopefully not losing the overall sound that I've already gotten used to and like. Dropping $1,100 on a setup for what they offer on a daily driver that has this much drone, they really dropped the ball in not advertising this to consumers. Who wants this drone sound? Advertising the fact that it is one of their loudest options is NOT the same as having an unbearable continual drone sound that is not healthy for your ears. An hour after driving the truck on the freeway, I still have that humming in the ears from it like I just left a concert. People equate "loud", with the rumble that they hear from their online sound clips. BUT, their sound clips don't give you the cruising speed drone that you get, when that is what you are doing the most on the freeway. If you city drive from street light to street light, this may never be an issue, but when you drive 30mi one way on the freeway day to day to work, drone is your enemy. I don't know anyone who thinks this drone sound is cool. I will now have to look for plan B. I hope I find it.
If interested in the Borla s-type (4 out of 5) but looking for something slightly cheaper. Would anyone have any suggestions? It's nearly $1600 where I live.
That's a very hard question but also easy question to answer. Will it void ford factory warranty? Yes it would, any modification will void ford factory warranty. Now then what about dealer warranty? That's something you need to find out on your own by talking to a service rep.
From what I understand, the factory warranty won't cover anything that failed specifically due to modification. If you modify your suspension and your ball joints fail, that's probably not gonna be covered by a warranty. If you install an aftermarket exhaust and your power window motor goes bad, the warranty would still be valid as the modified exhaust has nothing to do with the power windows. That being said, it never hurts to contact someone at your dealership and see if you can get some specifics about warranty issues before you perform any modifications.
@@igorbukhantsov he is. Apparently he likes more HP, Torque, MPG over an old school motor that people buy for saying they have a V8 pickup. Lol love my '74 4×4 with a 390 swap on a 4b Holly but like my 3.5 that gets 20 city/highway
Does the exhaust on the 15-17 F150 fit the 2018 F150? Or does the 18 F150 need a new designed exhaust. With the 10 speed transmissions I wonder if a new designed exhaust us required.
I have a outlaw series on my 13 5.0 F150. You'll definitely get noticed with this system. nothing better when your sitting in Toronto traffic next to some meathead on their phone, and smashing down on the go pedal to get their attention.. love the way it sounds! Would never go back to stock
