Looking into an aftermarket exhaust setup for my 12' Ecoboost, any suggestions?

I have a 4" Heartthrob Cat-back exhaust and love it. I wen't with it after I saw a Gearz (. . . I think) episode where they were talking about quick mods to ecoboosts (you can find it on youtube). It does make it a little louder inside the cab, but I've gotten use to it and barely notice it when the radio is on. It is much meatier sounding outside the cab, but that's what I was going for - I like the meatier sound. You can also really hear the turbos spooling - which I think is cool. Haven't really noticed any performance increase, but wasn't expecting much with just an exhaust upgrade.

Cheers.

I went with the Borla http://www.borla.com/products/f150_20112013_catback_exhaust_stype_part__140416.html on the wifes '12 Platinum. I liked it but the wife hated it. She said it made her truck sound like a "rice burner" so I had to take it off. Last week I got me a '13 Limited so the Borla system is going on it. We'll see how I like it.

I watched the same video that MattGeo watched and I also have the Heartthrob exhaust on my 2011 Ecoboost. One thing I'll tell you is that if that's the only thing you do, you're going to have an MPG drop. Slow tells me I need to get a tuner to fix that issue and I'm waiting on my tuner to come in. Once it's in, I'll be sure to let you know if it doesn improve my mileage along with the exhaust. The exhaust itself is great, I love the meatier sound and I can hear the turbo spooling better than I could with the factory exhaust (which I love).

The off road y pipe is the way to go. Catalytic converters are the limiting factor on these trucks.

do they do state emissions inspections in your state

I've heard good things about the Heartthrob and Corsa exhaust. I'm leaning more towards the Corsa, it sounds a little deeper and they advertise it as "No Drone".

No.

I installed the Roush on mine and I love. I also have the Livernois Tuner, CAI. Ran 7.99 in the 1/8 mile with traction issues and wheel hop.

Where do you live in Texas? I'm from Texas too and I've never had to do emmisions testing on any of my vehicles.
