I have the MBRP in my Ex and 350. The only thing I would consider now that I have had them for a couple of years is to not go all the way to the rear of the 350 if I were to do it again.

I would think about a turbo back system but stop just after the cab and install a down pipe. Or turn the down pipe towards the passenger side of the truck to blow the exhaust that direction.


If I were concerned about exhaust in the cab I would consider "lake" pipes. They are just pipes that terminate just in front of the rear tires.

When I got mine MBRP suggested that you go with a 4" pipe for a truck under 450 HP. I do not know why. But I took their advice and went with the 4".

When I was a little guy my parents regularly had to have the exhaust pipes, mufflers, and resonators (a small muffler just in front of the rear bumper that made the car so quiet that you could not even tell if it was running) replaced because they rusted out every couple of years. I always thought it was stupid not to have stainless parts. Then, as I got older, they became stainless from the factory. And lasted forever. When I got my systems for the Ex and 350 I could not see not spending the few extra bucks for the stainless. Kind of like buying insurance. It became something I just no longer had to worry about. The stainless will probably outlast the truck.
