The Edge Evo will do more for your truck than any other mod for about $300.
You'll think you just got a bigger engine.

Really? They will make that much of a difference?
I changed my plugs over the summer but didnt do anything with the cop's.

I was thinking of either putting new coils in or changing out the cop's all together before my Christmas trip to Florida.

I mean you are supposed to change them when you do the plug job according to the papers. But who does that right? LOL

But yeah mine would idle low and just feel weak and would have to really put it to the floor to get it to go. Then i changed the cops, it sounds like it fires alot better and got the edge and its been high hoe silver away ever since! I bought the cheap motorking kind from amazon that have a lifetime part warranty through amazon. So keep your spares around in case you gotta send one back! Cant beat the price and they work just fine.

2004 f150 acceleration test and VX exhaust cab noise - YouTube

That exhaust sounds sweet.
The wife is dead set against me putting an after market louder exhaust on. Especially how loud my old diesel was.

Thanks for the link. Seeing the price of those maybe I'll throw some on. Cant hurt, only can help.

Its really not that loud honestly. When im at parties im always the music truck. I just open all the doors, crank the truck and walk off and get drunk. Pipes are quiet if i want them to be, and loud when i get down on it
