Exhaust System??

[Flingueur]

I have a 2005 Explorer Xls/XLT with advance trac, 4.0l v6. Anyone recommend a good exhaust system that will make it sound like a beast?? most likely throwing a K&N cold air intake in aswell

Any tips would be help full!


EDIT
Check my update video to hear the muffler on the second post on http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3111998#post3111998

I've had a Gibson cat-back on my Sport Trac since it was practically new. Makes a V6 sound as good as it ever will. Healthy rumble. Slam dunk to install, the only extra thing I needed was shorter bolts for the flange at the cat. You will need to cut the OE exhaust in front of the rear axle to get it out. Picked up 3 mpg on the highway if I keep it under 70, city mpg is no different than before.

Not really but I can look it up for you if that's what it takes.

Stainless steel:

Aluminized steel, which is a little cheaper:

They only make one system for the Explorer.

Holy hell that sounds gnarly lol, Dam I may look into that. A good buddy of mine has a shop at his house that he uses for his race cars so I'm sure he has a welder their. Thanks for that! You just saved me $320 to $50-$100 total!

Any recommendation on a different tip though?? i heard the 2.5" were used a lot. I'm not to smart on exhausts and engine I personally am a techy with wiring and interior work lol

EDIT
I wan't something shiny for when i put on my body kit i want it to look nice

 

[Flingueur]

Did you order the Centered or the offset for the inlet/outlet??

I will +1 for the super 10 series major beast. I have had this series on my F150, K5, and now the Ex. Will never go to a different exhaust (besides sticking with stock). Any tip will work, that is if they match the outlet pipe size I didn't put a tip on mine, didn't feel like spending money on flashiness

 

[Dweeberman]

Also the price is right...mine was $50 for the muffler..i had a shop install it as i don't have a welder nor anyone local that i know...so it cost me $150ish total. Also mine was centered inlet/outlet

 

[Flingueur]

Thanks for all the help guys! I ordered mine yesterday!!!! Super 10 series should ship today! Luckily Ex girlfriends Dad has a shop at his house right down the road so hopefully he will let me pay him like $25-50 to put it on!

Does anyone know what the stock piping size is that goes to the stock muffler inlet? Looking to buy a single in/dual out for a dual tip setup

I did some checking around for you...i am showing 2.25 is the stock piping size...though i could be wrong, but everyone that spoke about stock piping put 2.25 Hope this helps...you can have a larger outlet...i run 2.5in flowmaster and this is the max anyone should go with a V6...per what i read and what the muffler shop advised.
