I would get a Magnaflow 4" system or a MBRP 4" system. You can order either one from many sponsors on this site. I did not want to install my 4" system myself and I have a local muffler shop that has done my work for years. They happen to stock Magnaflow so that's what I went with. It was a nice kit that bolted right up and looks and sounds great. It was pretty quiet with the muffler on so I had mine removed and I love the straight pipe.

I got the MBRP and have had no problems with EGT, or noise. It seem to be built like a brick house!

Speaking of ScaldedDogs, I put an MBRP 4" system on our Excursion, and it's been great!

I have a Magnaflow. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go with MBRP. Not because of quality and not because of price. The stainless steel tip on the Magnaflow is a bit cheesy, IMHO. If I had seen it prior to purchase, I probably wouldn't have bought it. The tip isn't rolled like the MBRP. The 4" pipe extends through the 5" tip. In effect, you see a double edge on the outside.

I put a 4" MBRP on my '02 and it caused a lot of resonation from the exhaust. So much so that I installed a couple layers of sound dampening material from secondskinaudio.com.
Now I have the performance and quiet comfort to go with it. :-)
You won't regret upgrading to the 4" exhaust. I think it really freed up the acceleration of my Ex. Now I am pushed back into my seat well by 70mph. Before the exhaust it seemed to "bind" somewhat above 50mph.
Dave- We have them with free shipping. Check our site for pricing as we are not allowed to talk numbers on the boards. If you have any questions, let me know.
THOROUGHBREDDIESEL.COM $470 FOR MBRP 409 STAINLESS (THE UNPOLISHED ONE, ALTHOUGH MUFFLER IS POLISHED) NO SHIPPING CHARGES MODEL NUMBER S6216409 I GOT IT AND LIKE IT THIS IS THE LOWEST PRICE I COULD FIND. HOPE THIS HELPS
I have a Bully Dog on my F250. It is the aluminized and is starting to rust slightly. It is about 4 years old. Who makes a quiet one? I would like to put one on the EX but do not want the resonance under the floor. I sit possible to have the performance and still be quiet?
I have an '03 X w/6.0 and are also looking at different exhausts, how does the MBRP turbo back exhaust sound compared to the MagnaFlow???? Also, how was the installation...anyone have any problems?? Looks pretty tight getting the factory downpipe off???
Thanks for any input....
