Default Cheap Weekend mods.......

Well I have the Mod Bug really bad....( honestly I always have it). But, first I'm planning on knocking out the Babi mod. Then i'm debating on taking the plastic off the bottom of my bumper to help with ground clearance for hunting season. And I'm debating on removing the 14 inch magnaflow off and just pipe it out before the right rear tire. Truck still has 4 cats so I don't think it will be too loud. Kinda looking to immatate a farm tractor so to not spook the deer..... What do you guys think? Next year I plan to add longtubes and a SLP cat back.

I think you'll like the strait pipe. I had it done and it sounds good but certainly not like a tractor. And be sure to post pics of the air dam removed! I haven't seen that done!

Will do, I did it to my 98 F-150. And it really helped with approach angles in ditches and steep inclines/ declines.

I'd look at power tailgate lock.
Remove 2 out of 4 of the cats and keep the magnaflow on. It'll sound much better.

I'd do that but I don't have a welder and ALL the exhaust shops around here won't touch the cats except for replacment

This. I love it. I sleep better when I travel knowing that the tailgate is locked and unless someone is going to slice my cover, my stuff is still there.
