I installed this Flowmaster on a 2003 F150, it took a muffler mechanic about 90 minutes to remove the factory muffler and make a 24" extension as the muff the Series 44 much is shorter original factory silencer. Then make a second exhaust pipe, weld all the parts together and install 3 support brackets, all for $110. It has a pleasant rumble at idle and isn't overly loud in normal driving. Mud and winter tires almost completely muffle the sound of the new muffler.Very happy so far.
