I am planning on getting an exhaust for my truck. (97 F-150 single cab styleside) I am probably going to get it through my old sponser of my ex car club or through a local retailer. Whichever is cheaper, and less of a hassle. Next question is this, does anyone know which "model" is right for my truck? And how deep of an exhaust is this going to give me? Yes I probably am going to get flowmasters. Any help would be in great appreciation.

Also looking for exhaust for my '80 F100 302. Any recommendations? Can't find headers for it either.

40 series would be the best for flowmaster, steelpax do not sound too bad either. Great big pipe, atleast 2.5 inch, otherwise it is all cackle.

I recently put a mustang 5.0 roller motor in my 85 f-150 and did not want to put my factory exaust manifolds back on so I put my mustang headers (mac 1 5/8" equal length) and had my mustang off road exaust cut to fit under my truck (mac 2 1/2"). I even used my mustang mufflers (flow master 3 chamber 2 1/2") tucked under the frame rails. My local muffler shop only charged my 75.00 to cut and weld up my h pipe and intal everything. Now my truck sound exactly like my mustang used to and I get 15-18 MPG. It is a 1985 f-150 extended cab. I would get the parts from ebay and save if you do not have the parts laying around like I did. I used to get 13 MPG before the exaust upgrade.

I have always put on Hearthrob Exhaust. The mufflers are actually built into the exhaust tips, available in black or chrome or stainless. They have a nice deep mellow tone and are very affordable. Complete system for my 1/2 ton was about $200. These are a cat back system.
