2012 F-150 Ecoboost and Stainless Works exhaust

[Franchi]

Here is a few videos showing the new exhaust on my truck...

Stainless Works offroad downpipe to S tube muffler catback on 12 F150 Ecoboost. LOTS of turbo whistle! Hard to get a good tone out of this V6 especially when used to roaring V8 but I like it, perfect for a DD I think. Different tone and sound then the Mustang but not annoying at all unlike most Ecoboost exhaust systems I've heard which have a serious ricer burn going on. Realize it's not for everybody but everybody in the world liked the exact same things, would be a very boring place.

Personally, I love it! It has a great tone at startup, idle, under acceleration ( both light, medium and WOT ) yet doesn't have any drone at cruising rpms and nice and quiet inside the truck.

Start up, idle and rev

It sounds pretty good, OP...:beer: I especially like being able to hear the turbo...:rockon:

Sounds like a small diesel lol. I like it though and your truck looks good! I would like to do an EB swap into my Harley.

im a fan of what they are doing with the ECOboost and def think its a stout truck. But that sounds like shit. Only downfall of the ecoboost f150 is the V6 sound. badass looking truck regardless...im just too big of a v8 guy.

thanks for posting this. I've been considering the same setup

I agree. I love the Eco-boost, but that thing sounds like garbage. Turbo sound is awesome, but as for the sound of exhaust...sounds like a bulldozer. :shrug:

Yep, its not for everybody. I did test drive the 5.0 when I was deciding between the two and I liked it a lot. Just liked the low rpms torque of the ecoboost better. And the exhaust tone is different but I like it. Stock exhaust though is quiet, super quiet so for some, leaving it stock works too. I can just never leave any vehicle stock for long lol

Sounds good to me, is it tuned?

I have a StainlessWorks system on my DD Expedition and like it, good sound, not too loud and no drone. I was looking at their EB system and like their chambered muffler better (same as I have on my Exp.). Not nearly as raw as the S tube, and deeper IMHO.

Like some of the others said, I like the sound of the turbo and the exhaust tone actually sounds good, but just doesn't belong with a full size truck. They need to make an ecooboost v8 lol.

 

[Gus00SVTL]

I think it sounds great! Nice EcoBoost man!

 

[charba951]

Love the turbo sound!

 

[OrangeMachine]

Unless that system makes more power, I see no reason for it. There is no cosmetic gain and it sounds absolutely horrid. Not a fan. That being said, the ecoboost is really cool.

 

[myblackgt]

I don't think I will ever be able to like the sound of a V6..

Nice truck though!

 

[A5295]

I think it sounds alright... Definitely unique. Reminds me of an SVO.

 

[HAMMRHEAD]

Not bad. I always loved the sound of an uncorked Buick GN V6, as well as my GMC Syclone 4.3 Turbo V6.

If they could get the tone a little deeper it'd sound better, IMO.

 

[Franchi]

Sounds good to me, is it tuned?

Yep. Tuned,drop in cai , SW exhaust and upgraded Wagner intercooler. Last dyno before the exhuast was 355 rwhp and 475 torque

475-rwtq!? Seriously!? That is damn impressive...:rockon:

 

[Mach1soldier]

Sounds good to me but I am biased since I own one lol. How was the fitment?

Very nice, take that truck to the drags. I'd like to see what it can pull in the 1/4. :beer:
