Review 5 of 7
Price Paid:
$275.00 Year / Model Reviewed: 1988 Ford F-250 PU 460Cu Engine Strengths: Great Price! Delivers on all the Promises ~ Custom made for your vehicle ~ You can install it yourself using original hangers and save the cost of labor ~ Well made throughout Weaknesses: Any Exhaust component can be a pain to install, remember, you've got to get the old one off first! You can take it to a muffler shop but you'll have to pay labor. Summary: This system is just plain GREAT! A bit noisy (great sound) when you get on the throttle but very nice while crusing. It's hard to explain the "Authority" that the exhaust sound has now but you know it when you hear it. I'd say it's JUST RIGHT!
I pull a 29' 5th wheel Travel trailer for long distances. I don't need a headache from a pounding exhaust noise mile after mile. Something that sounds good from stop light to stop light is one thing. An exhaust that you can enjoy, appreciater your expensive sterio and still get the benefits of added HP and great sound when you really want it; That is another matter.
When I'm pulling a big hill I don't mind hearing the engine work. It even SOUNDS like it's going faster! But I really did see an increase in power. I added a Jacob's ignition system and that bumped it up even more.
The original catalitic converter and muffler were very quiet but robing hoursepower. I didn't see any noticable mileage increase after the additions but what do you expect from a 460Cu engine! Similar Products Used: Custom built exhaust cost more and did not work NEARLY as well as the Cat Back system from FlowMaster
