So today I changed up the true dual exhaust setup I have on my 2018 F150, and have a X-pipe installed. Hopefully y’all enjoy the direct comparison of the 2.
Some people don’t understand the difference between a loud exhaust and a good sounding exhaust… Just because it’s loud doesn’t mean it sounds good, it sounds terrible!
Because of the alternate bank firing order of the Coyote 5.0 V-8, the exhaust pulses in each bank are 180⁰ apart. The other bank's pulses are also 180⁰ apart but are 90⁰ out of phase with the other bank. Merging the two flows with an X-pipe crossover will blend the high pressure pulses from one bank with the low pressure zones between pulses of the other bank will cause the high pressure pulses to be accelerated at the junction and create a low pressure wave to propagate back the header pipe towards the cylinders, scavenging exhaust flow during valve overlap on some cylinders. This causes better cylinder filling and an increase in volumetric efficiency and torque, something you see on the dyno and feel in the car. The X-pipe also changes the tone of the exhaust, creating a single stream that has a fundamental frequency twice that of the true dual setup and lower in pressure amplitude, because of the stream of pulses diverging into two pipes after the X junction.
@@kskip4242 true duals do sound good, but I wouldn’t say when they’re this loud and raspy. I also wouldn’t say they’re unique exactly, I’d say the X-pipe is less common than true duals are.
@@kev_lsn7042 honestly true duals with two 10 inch resonators and some strait through mufflers behind them would sound great. But it looks like you're working with limited space.
I personally like the straight through high performance mufflers with the X pipe!! The straight through mufflers has a great aggressive sound!! And also keeps back pressure for better performance!! Should definitely check them out ⁉️ 😳 👌👍👍👍
@@randytrivitt6539 I sold it last summer. Nothing too crazy, I just didn’t want the payments anymore. Honestly should’ve kept it. I posted a video about selling it too.

hey bro fantastic video, so you noticed a Decible drop going to the X pipe? i went true duals with cats to 6" tips on my 2500hd and its just obnoxiously loud man, the clap is sick but man cold starts are absolutly brutal and its just too loud, i thought of doing a super 10 but man they dont seem loud enough. the video of your before and after almost sounded the same to me, but you say no noticed it was a bit quieter with the X pipe? that might be what i need to do i still want the truck loud but not just brutal
There was definitely a decibel drop with the X-pipe. The truck didn’t become quiet by any means, it was still loud, but the true duals compared to the X-pipe was like night and day. Of course videos don’t do exhaust justice and you’ll know for sure on how it sounds in person. Plus, the 5.0 is just a loud motor. Cat back True duals on a 5.0 is going to be a lot louder than a 5.3 or 6.2 with cat back true duals.
Also, you said you were considering a super 10? I assume you mean a 2 inlet and 2 outlet super 10 where you combine the exhaust flows like a X-pipe? If that’s the case, just get a X-pipe. I had the same kind of super 10 on my F150, and I never posted the video I made of it, bc it sounded no different than the X-pipe, Except it was double in price.
@@kev_lsn7042 man thank you for the info, yea I found another video comparing a Silverado 5.3 with TD next to one with TD + x and you could tell the drop in noise wich seemed perfect because I def want it loud still but just a tad bit quieter. Man you are right about that 5.0 I could not believe how loud your truck was, the cubic ft makes a difference because my cat back TD on my 5.3 was PERFECT so I did the same on my 6.0 but the 2500 is DEF louder, I was suprised that it was that much louder than my old 1500. I think going x pipe would tone the 6.0 down to about where my 5.3 was and that will be perfect. And yes I was thinking maby a dual in dual out flow master super 10
Some perforated core resonators will dampen the higher pitched sounds and reduce cabin drone without offering significantly more back pressure. Also, that X-pipe crossover looks too far back for much scavenging to take place.
So I will agree that the X pipe was placed kinda far back. But sadly that was the only place it could fit into, considering all the bends in the piping and how little of piping there really is. I will say, even with the X-pipe being as far back as it is, Ive felt the return in low end torque compared to when it was just true duals.
So I enjoyed the cat back true duals I had on my old 2016 Silverado with the 5.3L, but that’s just me. But when I took my roommates 2010 Silverado (also 5.3L) to get cat back X pipe duals installed… I cannot deny that it sounded really good. I still prefer it without the X pipe on the 5.3L’s. The 5.0L’s though… unbearable with cat back true duals.
@@kev_lsn7042 man I would have suggested the Borla ATAK I got and some long tube headers. All the loud sound, zero to very minimal drone. I think I read here that you don't have the truck anymore? What do you have now?
@@KingDavid0606 I’ve heard great things about the Borla Atak setup. Also, yes I no longer have the F150. I currently own a 05’ GMC Sierra, which is in my most recent videos. Feel free to go check them out and support your boy 🙏🏻
Make a more in depth video of the exhaust comparing how the x pipe sounds vs true duals like drive by and cold start and warm start and at idle like you did with the true duals earlier in the video
Love the channel man just subscribed! My channel is very similar. Just true dualed my ram 1500 with a cat delete and Flowmaster 40. I thought my truck was too loud but yours is absolutely insane!!!! I love it 😂 definitely won’t mix it up with an echo boost.
I appreciate that man, thank you! Also, I believe the X-pipe gave me more low end torque. I surely felt as if I had lost some torque when I just had true duals. Maybe it was due to the small piping paired with a shorter truck. Some kind of back pressure ordeal. Who knows… all I know is the X-pipe calmed down the choppiness and gave me a little bit more power.
@@kev_lsn7042 awesome, I definitely noticed some back pressure loss when I true dualed it. I did use a open chamber Flowmaster so I was hoping that would help but I might just get an X pipe at some point because I miss that off the line power. Along with cams and 4.56 gears, that should help. Thanks
I had an automotive teacher back in the 90's who would always say "stock is beautiful" I didn't understand it at the time because I was a teenager and wanted to hot rod everything. But as I got older I understood. This video is a perfect example, loud obnoxious waste of money that's less powerful than the factory designed stock exhaust. Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with building hot rods, but there also tons of aftermarket crap that just wastes money and makes the vehicle run worse because it doesn't work well with all the other factory parts that were designed to work together. Basically certain aftermarket parts throw a wrench in the works and just make everything worse.
It’s just a different set of pipes friend. Don’t know what all of the “after market crap” you’re referring to is. A lot of trucks can be ordered with loud exhaust systems installed from the factory too. All it truly boils down to is preference.
Agreed. Same thing goes for true duals. Have one pipe cross over the other to go to the opposite side of the rear end. Help balance out the tone and flow.
Sounds terrible IMO. Way too raspy and annoying. It doesn't compliment your truck. The exhaust tips look good, but that sound is really bad. I'd at least have a couple of resonators installed to tone it down.
@vegasfordguy Pal, I’ve put this same setup (if not a slight variation) on almost every truck I’ve owned. Maybe I’ll hate it as I grow older, but right now I’m McLovin’ it.
The 318 has less compression, lower flowing heads and less lift/duration camshaft, making half the hp of the Coyote. Also has worse flowing exhaust manifolds and if it's the factory cat, it flows much less than a modern one.
Haha! I had the money for a new transmission but thankfully I never had to put one in while I owned it. I think I put like 10,000 miles on it during the 7ish months I owned it. Odd shifts at times but never any real issues.
Jesus I hate that clapping sound. 2 1/4 inch pipe and no mufflers. Always sounds the same especially with big tips. Sorry to hate on it, anything that claps like that is a no go in my book
The clap/chop exhaust sound is definitely an acquired taste. I personally enjoy it, but there is such thing as too much, which it definitely was before the X-pipe.
The X pipe toned it down a decent bit, I’m satisfied with its level of loudness and aggressiveness. Anything more and I think it’ll be too quite for my liking.
@@kev_lsn7042 gotta be deaf to not be able to hear it lol. Just something enough to kill the clap, but you like it for whatever reason so it works for your tastes of course
@@loweredyote8416 The way I look at it is: why would I spend all that money on an exhaust setup for it to not sound rowdy. Mufflers are typically $100, plus the labor and any additional piping which is usually about $100-$200. Plus the tip(s) which are typically $50 a piece.
Someone sold you wheels with the wrong backspacing. Either that or you have no respect for anyone following you in the rain. looks are obviously a personal preference, but that crap literally damages cars around and behind you. Also, truck sounds great but a small bullet muffler would probably make it more livable.
The wide wheels do more damage to the body of my truck than it does to any vehicle around me. Furthermore, the street tires aren’t bad for slinging rocks and debris. Maybe If it were mud tires, but even then it would mainly do damage to my truck.
@@kev_lsn7042 As a man who lives where this is a popular "mod", it does in fact throw crap on everyone behind you whether you know it or not. This is the reason there are DOT laws about fender flares and tire coverage. Not because they're in the pockets of "big fender flare". Otherwise I dig the truck. Not that my opinion matters. Just don't husk road crap on my old truck or car. Or motorcycle.
@@kev_lsn7042 yeah? I wonder maybe because it's 74 more cubic inches !? But if it had that exact exhaust with the down sized pipe same tip it would have a very similar sound, for real
Damn that's loud and obnoxious. Looks like the cops will have 2 tickets to write, one for the obnoxiously loud exhaust and one for the tires sticking out way beyond fenders, I'd write that one just because it looks stupid. I actually do like your truck and the idea of an X pipe real dual exhaust, if it were me I'd have a pair of mufflers installed and change out the tire and wheel combo. Single cab short beds are awesome.
I totally agree that the cat back true duals WITHOUT the X pipe was obnoxiously loud. Too loud really. The X pipe however isn’t terribly loud once the truck is warmed up, it’s definitely a lot more tame than it was before. Also, the wide wheels aren’t illegal in SC I believe. There are so many people with wide stance setups. It’s not for everybody for sure, different strokes for different folks.
@@kev_lsn7042 the wheels are just fine. If it were me, hell they’d be even wider. Nontheless, that’s also what exhaust id run on the next truck I get, which would be the 18-20 model like what you have. The sound is just right, I wouldn’t run a muffler but I’d leave the cats alone next time. Great job on the truck so far.
@@kev_lsn7042 I know, I was saying I had my cats gutted on my 09 with the 4.6. Next truck I’m leaving the cats stock, because I just want a smooth, good and loud but simple sound like what you have, brother.

The exhaust is 100% better with the X-pipe installed. Don't be afraid to add a small resonator to trim the tone a bit more, if necessary....
no xpipe is better
Sounds infinitely better with the x pipe. A set of flowfx mufflers would make it sound perfect imo. Regardless, nice truck 👍
Some people don’t understand the difference between a loud exhaust and a good sounding exhaust… Just because it’s loud doesn’t mean it sounds good, it sounds terrible!
The cat back true duals without the X pipe was bit obscene. But the X pipe mellowed it out and it actually sounds pretty good.

The X pipe however isn’t terribly loud once the truck is warmed up, it’s definitely a lot more tame than it was before. Also, the wide wheels aren’t illegal in SC I believe. There are so many people with wide stance setups. It’s not for everybody for sure, different strokes for different folks.
@@kev_lsn7042 the wheels are just fine. If it were me, hell they’d be even wider. Nontheless, that’s also what exhaust id run on the next truck I get, which would be the 18-20 model like what you have. The sound is just right, I wouldn’t run a muffler but I’d leave the cats alone next time. Great job on the truck so far.
@@dequanteb12 I actually never touched the cats. They’re completely intact
@@kev_lsn7042 I know, I was saying I had my cats gutted on my 09 with the 4.6. Next truck I’m leaving the cats stock, because I just want a smooth, good and loud but simple sound like what you have, brother.
Aaaah okay, I gotcha.
What size exhaust is on it?
So I believe it’s 2.25 inch piping. The tips are 5x12’s.
