anyone with exhaust on a 4cyclinder?

I always thought that exhaust systems cost a lot more than they actually do. I was talking with a buddy about his f150 he was getting a new exhaust system put on today. True dual exhaust Flowmaster super 40s for ~$350....

That made me really want to throw some pipes on my ride. I am way more interested in improving Mpg rather than anything else. I would like a nice 3" tip, maybe dual. I was just curious if anyone has exhaust on a 4 banger that isnt really RICED out. I dont want the tone to change too much in fear of sounding horrible b/c its a 4cyc.

Anyone know something about exhausts?

lawl....putting a 3" tip on a small pipe will not increase mileage:laugh:

i dont know, it was a rough estimate. I didnt like go outside and see how it looked, i just imagined that 3" wasnt too big. If so i am sorry i will add smaller tips if that is ridiculously big.

x2. Unless you increase the engine's hp and therefore increase the exhaust output. stock is about as good of gas mileage your gunna get. I would think headers and/or cold air would work better than exhaust. haha 3" tips would look very rice IMO

the point is, you have to do the entire pipe to change anything. a tip is for looks

You sir, are correct. I wasnt wanting to put just a single tip on my stock pipes dummy. I want and exhaust system... but i am obviously new to it and was curious if anyone has one. So i can actually figure out a good manufacture and other things like that.

I would go for the cold air to get more density

full exhaust will be at least 500 unless you get it used

see man i was told that cold air intake will not do very much at all. I was told that exhaust would be the best bet for any type of mpg increase.

I have a borla catback system on my 2.2 with a 3" oval tip and I really like it. It sounds better than I expected and the noise level is decent (i.e.: It doesn't sound like the average rice burner, it has kind of a mellow tone).

edit:fyi it was a little closer to the $400-$500 range though

the best increase would be to find the restriction and alleviate it

he will ask how it changed mileage:fyi:

I dont really know just going on what I have heard/read. Mufflers will do bassically nothing which is what flow super 40's are. You would need a full systems to do anything

tucker has an 06' f150 and called aiken muffler while i was with him. They quoted him $340+tax for the true dual exhaust super 40s on his truck. That might have been minus headers..... not positive.
