Well seeing as it's a Ecoboost I was worried Id sound too rice rocket, but it's not bad. Wide open throttle it's a little higher sounding but that's nature of the beast of having a v6, coming from v8s all my life it's different lol. But turbos make up for it.

I did a 3" resonator delete, with a 3"in/3"out glasspack I had laying around from my turbo'd 5.0 and did a dump over rear axle. At idle it sounds wicked too, paired up with vented BOV, the spool sounds great. Next mod will be FMIC

Dagnabit!! I didn't see you had an Eco!
I can certainly see your concern with that "rice" sound, it's bad enough on a ricer.
I take a lot of interest on what guys do with their exhaust systems. I've got a Roush on my 5.0, and in itself, I hate it! I wound up putting a Flowmaster 40 Series in place of the Roush muffler, and putting the Roush in the location of the stock resonator, all that to get the noise level [drone] down to where I could stand to drive it.
Thanks for the reply.

I recommend borla or corsa on the 5.0, had both on the stang at one point. And they're beautiful

It was yesterday....but I installed a new T-Rex Torch grill in the F150Lifts truck. It really is an awesome looking grill we all think....then this showed up...so that will be our next install: ADD Venom Bumper with 20" LED light bar, we may add an additional 20" light bar also.

Please post PLENTY of pics of the ADD Venom, I'm looking very seriously at getting one and would love some detailed observations from some perfectionists

I installed my BAKflip F1 tonneau cover this morning, it took me about an hour to complete and it did require a bit of trimming of the OEM drop-in bedliner to get the rails to install properly. Bring on the snow!
