i personally would, it keeps a good tone with the stock resonator. I could see it getting too loud without it.

I may eventually drop down to a 4" and run it back a little further, but im satisfied and not annoyed by it just yet.

My truck has had a few different exhausts. Started with stock then went to banks monster duals and it was so quiet i didnt like it, i cut the muffler out of that and it was sweet and eventually i cut it off completely and left it dumped and that lost too much backpressure to keep without new tunes so i went with a flowmaster 40 dual wide pipe and it sounds PERFECT. If I were you I'd just take it to an exhaust shop and have them swap mufflers out since that would be like 100$ and sound good etc

definitely a muffler swap, but do not go with a chambered muffler if you don't want drone, even more so with it dumped

Beautiful truck, I'm picking up my 13 screw fx4 on monday in sterling gray! I like the darkness in tint you went, is it 5% in the rear and 20% in the front?

And I went from two 13 Ram Sports into this F150! Seems like people are coming from each competing brand for the f150!

It's 5% on everything, on front 2 doors and over the factory glass on the rear.

Nice weather to clean the bird **** off





Rear needs to come down about another inch but not sure how to go about it. Kinda running out of ideas to do. They have an ebay set of cleared headlights but not sure if i want to deal with them. HID's maybe but they seem so cliche arround here, may find a nice set of halogens.
I did order some PTM inlays for my fender badges. Just need to dip the chrome surrounds black. Other than that its a nice clean DD.
Economy tune coming soon for future road trips this summer.

Just can't pass up the deal you get on custom tuning through MPT when using the discount code. Had some spare money in my paypal account that i forgot i had so pulled the trigger on their economy tune. Hopefully it results in a nice bump in mpg for my road trip to Austin,TX next weekend.
