Default My New Ride

Traded in my 04 XLT today for this 11 FX4 and I love it. I plan on plastidipping the wheels and emblems, tinting windows, and adding smoked headlights/tail lights. The only question I have is that the exhaust seems really loud. Is this factory or did the previous owner modify it? It doesn't sound like it's a leak.

If you dont have a small refrigerator as a muffler then yes it has been changed and reason for it being so loud. Nice truck

Stock 5.0s are pretty loud sounding from the cab! I wouldn't plastidip those wheels though, they look awesome as is!!

The tailpipe looks stock, but that doesn't mean the previous owner didn't do a muffler swap or delete. Look under your truck under the cab, and you should see a huge muffler like 36" long as well as a small resonator before the muffler. That's the stock setup. Chances are, your system is modified because these trucks are very quiet stock.

Yeah its only about 18 inches long without a resonator. I like it but the wife doesn't haha.
