I think I have heard my first piped v 10.I dont really know how to explain it other than I like it.First it was a good looking f 350 4x4 crew cab dually.The sound wasn't like your traditional big block v 8 hot rod sound,it was more like a formula one race car.Is that sound easy to get,like change muffler,or do you have to replace headers and all.

Had a V10 but traded it. Want a good sound go past the cat. conv, cut off stock pipes and put 3 inch straight dual pipes (no mufflers) back out to the rear behind the tires." It will turn some heads" BUT look for gas mileage to drop about 1 mile to the gallon. Mine also would stall when the clutch was pushed in while going DOWN HILL ONLY. That was a strange one that my dealer could only think of decreased back pressure. It gave no comp codes or anything.
Good luck, Phil

im getting ready to do something with the exhaust system. i was thinking of doing the same, taking out the muffler and running duals. warfield, are you saying that you "lost" about 1 mpg. i would of thought that it would give you a gain of mpg's. with no muffler and dual pipes, how is the noise inside the truck

I removed my muffler, well I paid $45 to have a straight pipe installed. I feel it was worth it.MPGs went up,engine revs up faster,and when I get on it it is LOUD..But as for cruzzing can't hear a thing.In cab noise is low.
At idle it rumbles ( NICE ) As I get on it it sounds like an indy car but deeper.It does NOT sound like a V-8
Check my pics I have one of it.
I would recomend it as it only cost $45 bucks and if you dont like it then put a HiPerformance muffler on it for a couple more bucks.
My muffler shop works with me and all the things I like to try.
Iam trying out the NO muffler for a mounth or two then I might try a Hiperformance muffler?????? still dont know????
We all are still learning about the V-10 and what works best
I know Iam doing my part,I chased down 3 Super Dutys with loud mufflers to find out what they were using,but didn't like what I herd.
