      What's up, guys. Travis from americantrucks.com, and today, we're trying to figure out how to make your 2009 or 2010 Triton powered F-150 sound a lot better without spending a ton of cash. And if that's what you guys wanna do, then you're in the right place because today we're taking a look at MBRP's installer series single exhaust system in the factory side exit configuration. And at around the $350 price point guys, this is hands down one of the least expensive exhaust systems that you can throw on your truck. The only other option that you're gonna find that costs less than this is gonna be the Flowmaster extreme turn down exhaust system. But let's face it, that's more of a muffler that actually dumps underneath the cab and the volume might be a little bit more overwhelming. Now, as far as actual volume is concerned on this guy, this is a pretty modest three out of five on the loudness meter. It definitely wakes up the sound of that Triton motor, makes it sound a lot better, a lot deeper, a lot bumpier, but it's not gonna go overboard. I would say this is right on the limit of what would be comfortable if you daily drive your truck or if you go on a long trip with family and friends and you don't want to interrupt any conversations. And that's also partially thanks to that factory side exit configuration, all that volume is dumping pretty much as far away from the cab as possible. So, again, very minimal concerns with volume and drone inside that cab.Now, other things that are nice about this system are it's a bolt-on kit. You might have to make one cut to the provided midpipe/extension pipe. However, that cut is very easy to do. All you got to do is measure twice, grab the saws or a cut off wheel. So, for that reason, I'm still gonna give the install a modest two out of three wrenches on my difficult meter. This is definitely something you can tackle at home in the driveway and I'm actually gonna help you out with that later, I'm gonna show you what tools you need, and I'm gonna walk you through the entire install. Now, as far as why this system is so affordable, well, that's pretty straightforward, guys, it's made out of aluminized steel. Aluminized steel is not considered stainless steel, it will show signs of rust and corrosion a little bit sooner, but what matters most, it's got this really nice polished 304 stainless tip. This will hold up just fine to all that snow and rain or road salt as long as you polish it up, maybe cover it with lux once in a while. So, where it counts, this system still looks great and let's face it, it's still a nice upgrade in terms of the aesthetic over the factory system. But I'll show you guys a more detailed comparison in a little bit. So, again, if you wanna make that Triton motor sound a lot better, if you wanna spend the least amount of money as possible while doing it, then MBRP's installer series is the ticket. And again, if you guys decide to stick with this system, come back later and I'll walk you through that entire install.All right. Guys, before we get started, you're gonna need a standard drive ratchet with a 13-millimeter socket that can be shallow or deep and you're also gonna need a 9/16s socket. Again, shallow or deep. You'll also need a 9/16s wrench and lastly, you'll need a 5/16s Allen head socket or Allen key for your exhaust tip. There are plenty optional but very helpful tools here including an impact gun, a dead blow mallet, an exhausting or puller tool, some spray lubricant as well as a pry bar. You will also wanna have an impact swivel socket if you're using power tools and you might have to make some cuts to the provided tubing in which case you'll need a measuring tape and always have some eye pro to protect your eyes. All right. Guys, we're starting up here on this flange just behind our white pipe right here, there's two bolts holding the flange together. You'll need a 13-millimeter socket. It's helpful to have an impact swivel socket because it is a little bit of a squeeze in here. All right. Now that our exhaust is disconnected, we have to remove it from the vehicle. It's held in place with some of these rubber isolators. There are three in total, one in front of the muffler and two directly behind it. The two behind the muffler are held in place, but you can free up this one and it's gonna make it a lot easier once we pull the entire exhaust system from the vehicle. It's helpful to have an exhausting or puller tool for this. Okay. Once you have that first rubber isolator freed up, you're gonna tackle the remaining two. And again, these are going to stay in place, so we're gonna spray them real good, let them soak up, that way we won't have any of this rust and oxidization in there keeping this thing jammed in there. Once you spray both of those down, we're gonna push the entire exhaust system forth and back of the truck in order to free it up. All right. So, that last isolator is located back here next to the spare tire just above the leaf pack. Okay. Guys, now that all those rubber isolators are soaked up and lubed up, now comes the fun part and this is where you're really gonna need to take your time. Grab a friend if possible. What you're gonna do, you're gonna grab hold that muffler, use your big old muscles and push the entire system towards the bumper. You're gonna do it just enough to get those hangers to pop free, the entire system will come down and you can gently work it out from underneath the truck. Good little tip if you're doing it by yourself, let the over axle portion of the tailpipe rest on top of the axle. That'll give you a little bit of support there.All right, guys, now we have the factory exhaust system removed. That was pretty much the most challenging part of this install. And if that factory flange and those bolts gave you any guff, don't worry about that too much because we are actually using some new hardware, some new bolts, and nuts but we are retaining that same factory flange style which makes bolting on the new system very easy. Couple other cool things to point out here. The one thing that really stands out with this kit that makes it sound so much better than our factory setup is the overall diameter of the flow tubes. We have three inches coming in on the MBRP system as opposed to the two and a half inches on our factory setup. That deeper inlet is gonna give you that deeper tone and volume. And then working our way on down here, we have the big star of the show, MBRP's new muffler. This guy is way more free flowing than the factory setup. You can see our factory muffler has an offset inlet and an offset outlet. And that's because this is baffled and chambered, doesn't do any justice for that Triton motor. That's not the case here, this guy is pretty much straight through. It's got one main tube with perforations on it but there's no baffles or chambers to speak of.So, again, a lot more free-flowing, keeps that nice deep [inaudible 00:06:43] and that throaty exhaust tone. Then as we work our way out to the tailpipes here, we keep things at three inches as opposed to two and three-quarter inches. Then working our way back down to the tailpipes here, you got this really nice polish 304 stainless tip, it's rolled and slash cut, looks really nice, simple, and stylish and obviously, it's a big upgrade considering Ford did not give us anything on the end of our tailpipe. So, we're not cutting anything but I promise, guys, it's very easy to do, just measure twice, cut once, check the directions, verify your wheelbase length with a tape measure and you should be good to go. So, once you've figured out what cuts you have to make, go ahead and grab that midpipe. I'll meet you guys under the truck and I'll show you how to get that bolted up.All right, guys. So, when you fire your midpipe in place, it's very helpful to have either a jack stand or a friend just to help situate it and get it generally squared up. Once you got the flanges lined up, go ahead and grab those new bolts provided in the kit and secure them. Again, make sure you have a flat washer and a crush washer on the side that the nut tightens down to. Now, we're only keeping this stuff hand tightened because we want a lot of play in this pipe. It's gonna make it a lot easier when we go to line up everything else. So, we're just gonna get the nut threaded on a couple twists here and then we're gonna do the same thing for the other side. All right. Next, we're gonna throw in our extension pipe. You'll need that large D-clamp in the kit, that 3-inch D-clamp. This is all SAE hardware on these clamps, so you'll need that 9/16s deep socket. Now, we don't need any adjustability or play in this pipe, it's just mirroring the direction of our midpipe so we can tighten this down all the way. All right. Now, we're gonna throw our muffler in place. In order to secure the muffler to your midpipe/extension pipe, you're gonna need this hanger/D-clamp combo. And again, we don't need to change the orientation of the muffler itself, so we can tighten this down once we have it on there all the way. All right. Once your muffler is secure, you can throw over your axle pipe in place. Again, make sure you sprayed on this rubber isolator back here as you line everything up, it's gonna make it a lot easier. And if you're also using that pull jack, it's helpful to relocate it to the muffler itself, it'll help with making adjustments so you can line all this stuff up.Then once you've got this seated, you can tighten down your clamp just enough to keep everything in place. Okay. Guys, now we're gonna throw our tailpipe in place and it's the same process. Make sure you got one of those D-clamps on the over axle pipe so you can secure it to the tailpipe. And you wanna make sure you sprayed on this rubber isolator as you're lining everything up. Again, make it a lot easier to get all the stuff seated. Now, you can see it is a little bit of a tight fit so it's helpful to have a dead blow mallet, you can tap on the end of the tailpipe to help get it seated all the way. All right. So, our tailpipe is in place, now we can throw in our exhaust tip. This guy has an Allen head bolt on the top and that's seated in a welded-on nut, so need a 5/16s Allen key or Allen head socket. Now, I would strongly recommend using hand tools to tighten this stuff because this hardware is smaller, it can strip pretty easily if you use power tools. All right. Guys, our exhaust tip is seated, we're just about out of the woods. Do yourself a favor and do a double check of where all your pipes are landing to make sure there's no clearance issues. You might have a case where the tailpipe is kind of resting against the leaf pack back here if your truck is off the ground and your suspension is not under load. Don't worry about that too much, once you bring the truck back down, you'll have plenty of clearance back here. But once you've double checked everything, you can tighten down all your clamps. Again, 9/16s deep socket for all the D-clamps and then when you get back up to that flange right there, you'll also need a 9/16s wrench. All right, guys. So, once you got that flange bolted down, you're pretty much done. Do yourself a favor, turn the truck over before you get everything put away, make sure there's no rattling or anything that's loose and you'll be good to go. And that actually wraps up this review of MBRP's installer series single exhaust system fitting your 2009 or 2010 Triton powered F-150. I'm Travis, thanks for watching.
