F150 Dual-Exit Cat-Back Exhausts and Wheelbase Fitment
If you're looking to swap out your restrictive, power robbing factory stock exhaust for a high-performance system, we have a lot of options for you to choose from. Before you make your decision, though, you'll want to make sure you're picking up the right system that goes with your specific cab/bed combination. Some kits do come with extension and reduction pipes that allow them to fit with maybe some cutting, but anyone with a 126" , 133" , or 163" wheelbase should expect at least a little (if not a lot) of "wet work" to get an aftermarket cat-back kit on their truck. The good news is that the two most common wheelbase sizes -- 145" and 157" -- don't need to worry about fitment. Nearly all of our F150 5.0L cat-back exhaust kits will bolt-right on to those trucks without any modifications. Check below for our wheelbase breakdown.- 126" - Standard Cab w/ 6.5' Bed
- 145" - Standard Cab w/ 8' Bed
- 133" - SuperCab w/ 5.5' Bed
- 145" - SuperCab w/ 6.5' Bed
- 163" - SuperCab w/ 8' Bed
- 145" - SuperCrew w/ 5.5' Bed
- 157" - SuperCrew w/ 6.5' Bed
If our breakdown didn't help you out much, then you can check your driver's door information sticker to find out your wheelbase, which is listed under "WB" beneath the bar code and paint color code. Check the image below for an example.
2011-2014 F150 5.0L Dual-Exit Cat-Back Exhaust Testing on our 2012 FX4 Project Truck
There are a ton of cat-back exhaust options for the 5.0L Coyote F150s. The good news is that most of them sound between pretty good and outright fantastic. Still, with a huge amount to choose from we here at Stage 3 decided to grab our most popular F150 cat-back kits for a bit of a sound testing shootout on our 2012 5.0L FX4 Project truck. We understand that it can be confusing, if not downright frustrating, trying to pick out what cat back exhaust system has the sound you want by listening to countless clips online. Some of the videos are typically shot with people's iPhones or in outdoor conditions that interfere with the sound quality. That's why we've independently performed our own testing of different exhaust systems on the same exact truck, using a high-def camera, in order to deliver you a consistent comparison you can use to determine which exhaust tone is right for you. Check out these different dual-exit exhaust systems we tested on or our 2012 FX4 Project Truck. Or check out our Single-Exit Exhaust Page for more video testing results:
