It definitely sounds exotic if not ricey. I like it personally not as much as the V8 sound.

Wanna hear a video of it?
Mann, you mention ricey lol. I wasn't going to say that, but now that you did lol.

Your right tho. That's the impression I had when I was listening last. I just thought, - no no no no, somethings definitely wrong here.

jferg, your the first person I know of that mention that. I thought it was just me lol.

I've been uploading a little idle video for awhile now. But yes, as blasphemes as it sounds, it's almost ricey with any kind of muffler other than stock. I've head a straight pipe (no muffler and no cats) in a 4" and 5" and those sound amazing- like a dirt track car. Way too loud for a DD but a great sound non-the-less. Any other muffler besides stock gives it a more exotic sound

Nm wifi bouncing around so video failed upload

I upgraded my fuel pump to a Walbro 255lph and im not having any issues. Used the link that either you or [MENTION=76903]fordmotorsport[/MENTION]s sent me. Just plugged it right in so i know i have enough fuel for the 4v now.

Ok thanks man. Good to hear it's working just fine for you. Seems that the census is that this pump works fine on the stock relay and wiring. So ill have to chase my electrical gremlins elsewhere. That's the one thing im not the greatest at

What your suggest to compliment that setup I had installed? Shorties and highflows?

It's sounds awesome cold, idling, and med-wide open. All other regular driving, it has a "civic" hum to it

I would guess true duals with chambered mufflers. That way your only putting five cylinders through a pipe instead of ten. Look true duals on 5.4 with mufflers sound good. No x pipe to keep rasp down.
Edit: but yeah that's more money

Dont waste your time with headers. The best thing to do to make it sound better is too true dual it with a H-pipe. Also use a DI/SO. 2.5"-3" before the muffler and 4" after. The magnaflow kit should of included a 4" tailpipe.
