- This is a muffler delete, not a straight pipe. There is a difference. A straight pipe set up means you don't have catalytic converters, or a muffler. My truck still has the cats on it. They are the oem cats.

Thought this was filmed in the early 2000’s then I saw the time stamp saying 2 years ago.
Good video i have allmost same truck mine is a 2000 f150 5.4 trition xlt with 33 mud tiers and 4inch lift and costom hood and grill and exhaust the only problems i have with her is coil packs i just replaced all 8 now she runs amazing love ford trucks man
Mines a 2000 F150, 5.4l lariat, extended cab, 2wd.
Hunter Liese did u loose power?
@@SantiShorts13 No. No power loss or fuel mileage loss.
I have a 2002 with a full muffler and cat delete,sounds great deff recommend it if you have a 5.4
I am about to do this this weekend.
Your basic cordless 20 volt impact gun puts at least 50 lbs of torque down ...so usually if you use an impact your good to go.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥... Making me think of doing that to my 98 F150
Did you
What size pipe did you use
Is this still going strong one year later? I’m thinking of doing this as well
Yes. No issues so far.
Straight piping is proven to improve car performance. Not hurt it
I lost track from the GT350 in the background
Was the exhaust system completely stock prior to the delete?
Is it smart to put gasket maker in those bands so there’s no leaks? Or maybe I want the leaks for extra pop lol
is it normal when small amount of water comes out of exhaust tip? just bought a similar truck & im new to trucks lol! especially fords,im 16 years old & would like to do this myself but i was just curious about the water. COOL VIDEO!
All it is is condensation. As long as you haven't noticed any engine issues, then its okay.
J Sabe but if it does it after it’s warmed up for a while it’s usually a blown head gasket
Damn, thanks bro. I'm doin it.
I'm definitely doing this to my 04 5.4 3v v8 fx4. Hey the water that shot out the exhaust when gun it, did that come from the old muffler holding water in it? Or it does it regularly regardless of straight piping. Mines does the same.
The water is condensation. As long as it is isn't oil, or coolant coming out of the exhaust, it is fine.
@@hunterrliese Okay thanks Hunter! 💪
@bryantmention6898
If a Ford doesn't have water or water vapor coming out of the exhaust. Than it's not running right. Every ford I have owned since the late 80s has always had water condensation come out of the exhaust.
Your truck came with stock 3inch pipe? I have 2002 f150 5.4l xlt I hope mine sounds like that
Yes. The best thing to do is measure the pipe before you buy a replacement pipe. That way you know the exact length, and diameter of the pipe you need.
@@hunterrliese yes I'm really glad I did that I hope it still sounds like yours lol
I'm trying to do this to my f-250 5.4 but the muffler is bigger than yours and so the process is confusing
Hey, did that pipe slide over the stock on or did it butt up agaisnt it?
Butted up against it. It's a 3" pipe.
Should I weld the pipe instead of using a clamp? because I don't want it to loosen while I'm off-roading
That is up to you. Welding the pipe in place will hold it better than exhaust clamps will.
@@hunterrliese what clamps do you use im realy considering doing this also what type of pipe did you use
@@bradleypumba Its a strap clamp. I got mine from NAPA, as well as the pipe. When you cut your muffler off, measure the distance between the pipes. The diameter should be 3".
Where u get the pipe from is the one from amazon Diamond Eye 510205 Muffler
I got it from Napa. The whole install was less than $50.
Does this make you fail emissions? Or the inspection check?
Check your states requirements. Some states have age limits on vehicles. So, a vehicle so many years old is exempt from emissions in some states. But yes, a muffler delete with fail an emissions test. In some states that do heavy inspections, yes, a muffler delete will fail. But do look at your states emission and exhaust laws.
@@hunterrliese the muffler doesnt create or lessen emissions
thats what the cats are for...a rig with no cats will fail an emissions test
in my state, rigs 15 years or older are exempt and no computer based emissions are needed and they dont even have to visually inspect it either
What did u use to cut the muffler off???
A sawsaw with a metal blade. It's a pain but, it can be done. A grinder with a cutting wheel would work too.
Any check engine lights?
No. A muffler delete should not throw check engine lights.
Did u get a check engine light ?
No.
Did it throw any check engine lights
If it did it probably think it had an exhaust leak but it don’t
Just did a muffler delete on my 5.4L do I need to put pip in place of the muffler ???
Y
What size is the pipe i have a 04 fx4 i wanna straight pipe it but idk what size can you tell me
3"
Love the hat! I don't get any bitches either!
Where did you get the band's from
NAPA
IS this legal in Calif?
No nothing is legal there. Lol
same MPG?
It should be the same, if not a little better. I haven't gone in a road trip, and anytime I've driven my truck lately it's been extremely windy.
What’s the diameter of the pipe
What are the clamps names? I can’t find them anywhere ?
Look for exhaust band clamps. There are a few different styles. Go to your local auto parts store and ask about them. They should have them in stock or would be able to order them for you. Make sure you know the size of your exhaust pipe.
@@hunterrliese thank you I have a 2005 f150 KR 5.4 it has a 2 inch inner diameter so I’m guessing the 2.5 clamps should be ok ?
@@legendeli2358 The inner and outer diameter is relatively close. Try to find a 2" clamp. A 2.5" clamp will work but, its best to go with the right size of clamp.
@@hunterrliese thank you ! I really appreciate it
@@hunterrliese did you get a engine light check after you did it? :(
Did it cause check engine light to come on
No.
Hunter Liese thank you doing mine soon sounds great by the way
@@shawnjames8170 It sounds much better in person.
@@hunterrliese where did you get pipe from
@@PTNRoofing1 I got it from NAPA
What size pipe
3" pipe. It's 3" pipe from the cats back. I'm not sure what the manifold is.
@@hunterrliese i was just wondering what size was the pipe you used to straight pipe the muffler because i would like to do it your way instead of spend $60 or more dollars for a shop to do a muffler delete. Thanks
@@thomassmith3951 A shop would do it more professionally, but to be honest, all they would do is weld it. exhaust clamps work just fine.
Hunter Liese do you know what type of shops I should search up so that I can get this done ?
@@mobbmikeyy any performance shop in your area
Did your truck feel like it lost any horsepower or torque by removing the muffler?
I haven't noticed anything power wise, and I haven't noticed anything fuel mileage wise. I still get 18 - 20 like I did before the muffler delete.
YOU GET 18-20!!! WHATTT no way.
Removing a muffler causes you to gain horsepower because it provides less restriction on the motor. You do not lose horsepower by a doing a muffler delete. If anything you gain power
@@hunterrliese what?? My 5.4 only gets 12mpg
@@bmxandskatingadventures8258 Yes. On the interstate or a flat highway with no wind, i can average 18-20mpg. With a tail wind, I've gotten even higher than that. In town driving I get about 13mpg. Not all trucks are built equally. Some get better fuel mileage, more power, etc.
Love the hat! I'm racist too
