Had the muffler tailpipe cut off just after the last hanger. Hated the look of what looks to me like an afterthought.

You know, there's a reason why OEM exhaust pipes never end under the vehicle, but always extend to the back end or side.

Yep. The exhaust is still point down and in the airflow under the truck to take the exhaust gases out.

I'm curious, what additive do you use? Always looking for improved performance.

Ford recommends against additives.

93 octane top tier gasoline is what you want for performance.

When moving, perhaps. You wont' always be moving.

My Z28 exhaust exited under the vehicle, pointing down and slightly to the side. Didn't stop it from trying to gas me out when idling

Chevron Techron Fuel Additive

When I was working at car dealers back in the day we used to use it as part of a regular service. I've never forgotten that. I've never found something with a better reputation.

Note: I don't use it to boost performance. I use it for every other benefit they sell it for.

One of my instructors in college did a test on them, Chevron Techron out performed all the others significantly !

I mix it in with my gas cans for my power equipment and now I don't have any surging issues on the lawn mower.

It is a few weeks old, but so far so good! ARE Z-Series.

Now we can go camping and climbing and not have to worry about all our gear in the back of the truck.

I emptied mine this weekend after getting oil changed at 2850 miles on new 802A. Had a little less than that on mine PCV side with nothing on my CCV side.
I have the Radium Engineering dual setup.
