Magnaflow cat back

[Heelfan1]

Anyone have this system installed and would you do it again or regret doing it? Mainly want a bit sportier exhaust note that's not raspy and not too much interior drone. From all the youtube videos the magnaflow seems to have the best/lease offensive exhaust note. (Depending on taste of course).

No personal experience, but I've had my eye on that system (Magnaflow P/N 15769) for a while.  I agree, it seems to have the most subtle sound as far as aftermarket exhausts go.  Curiously, Magnaflow's website lists a different system for 2015+ (P/N 19112), but Ford's parts site indicates 2015 uses the same stock catback as 2014.

Let me know and when your ready to purchase and I can hook you up with someone who can save you a lot over the normal price. I'm ready to get it just hesitant as the older I get the less I want to hear interior drone and without personal experience with this platform not sure I want to make an expensive mistake. I have a magnaflow catback on my 6.2 F150 and really like the sound but it does have some drone but not too bad.

Well I bit the bullet and got the kit. Installed it today and honestly it was just what I was looking for. Just enough but not too much. Deep throaty sound for a v6 and basically no drone. I was a little worried that there may be too much drone or rasp but I'm really happy with the results.

Sound clip.  Sound clip.

I have found that Exhaust systems get louder over a few days. Not sure why exactly.

Typically Ive heard it referred to as "burn in". Basically the packing gets coated with soot/carbon and doesn't do as good a job at drowning decibels. Ive already noticed after 40 miles or so that there is a very slight sound difference. Ive had multiple magnaflow systems and borla and they both increase sound about 5-10% after burn in then level off.
