i got it recorded and i will work on getting it uploaded. after everything i dont think the time is worth the results of headers. if i ever do it again i will do long tube headers

the grille is made by street scene and i think it cost $170 the chrome trim is a dealer option on f150's. the sound wasnt too much different and i didnt feel any extra hp but it did make the throttle response a little better.

yeah I got them on, I will try and send you a vid. I had to modify the egr tube because the fitting on the headers sat a little higher than the one on the manifold and I didnt modify enough, so now it is rubbing against my steering column and I need to bend it a little more.

they still arent on, it took me about 3 hrs to get everything uninstalled and then i stopped cause I was waiting for some locking header bolts. they will supposedly never back-off. otherwise you have to retorque often. so i am installing this weekend

as soon as i get my headers on, i will try and get that, i am waiting on some locking header bolts that should be in on thursday. if i get everything done by next weekend i will try and do it then

oh and no problem with the questions I ask a lot of questions before I do any mods to my truck as well.

my truck has a little over 65000 miles. I have had the exhaust since 7000. it cost 750 retail but I got it for 430 cause I work at a place that has an account with borla. im not going to get high flow cats because i have heard way to many negative things about them i.e. they throw cel codes, they dont do anything for performance, and most of them are not legal in california. I am putting shorty headers on because of the smog laws in CA if i didnt have to deal with those I would probably go with long tubes. the borla exhaust has a low rumble to it and when you floor it or r going up a hill it gives off a deep throaty sound, not a high pitch or annoying sound. I rode in a couple of vehicles with flowmasters and they were way to loud for my taste. check out youtube, there should be some sound clips of the borla exhaust on there.

yeah they do only make 1 setup for our truck. I am installing the headers this weekend so I will let you know how those turn out. the exhaust made a huge difference for me. it increased my mpg by 1 and when I added the cai it increased the throttle response by a noticable amount
