F150 Cat-Back Exhausts and Wheelbase Fitment

The huge variety of cab and bed configurations for F150 trucks is excellent. Unfortunately it makes shopping for a new exhaust kit a bit difficult. These different cab and bed combinations all result in different wheelbase lengths and not all of our cat-back exhaust kits will bolt right up to certain trucks without some custom work at your local exhaust shop. Some kits do come with extension and reduction pipes that allow them to fit with minor cutting, but anyone with very short wheelbase trucks should expect to do some extra work to get proper fitment. If there's any good news, the two most common wheelbase sizes -- 145" and 157" -- don't need to worry about fitment. Nearly all of our F150 EcoBoost cat-back exhaust kits will bolt-right on to those trucks without any modifications.Check below for our wheelbase breakdown:

• 122" - Standard Cab w/ 6.5' Bed
• 141" - Standard Cab w/ 8' Bed
• 133" - SuperCab w/ 5.5' Bed
• 145" - SuperCab w/ 6.5' Bed
• 164" - 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.

Aggressive, New Roar from an Aftermarket Cat-Back Exhaust Kit

One of the greatest injustices made to the 2015 and 2018 F150 5.0Ls by Ford was including an exhaust system that made that Coyote V8 sound like a little kittens purr, instead of a powerful V8 engine. Luckily, a 2015 to 2018 F150 5.0L cat-back exhaust kit will fix that little problem in one heck of a hurry. Cat-backs replace your stock muffler, outlet tubing, and sometimes your factory resonator (depending on the system) with new components that are tailor-made to produce an incredible and extremely aggressive sound. Many cat-backs can even alter the looks of your truck by changing up the top sizes and exit locations. For our 2015 F150 5.0L Desert Runner Project Truck, we wanted both sound and a change in scenery, so we grabbed Magnaflow's Twin Pre-Tire Exit Cat-Back System to give our truck a Lightning-Style look and a great sound all in one place.
