Default Just the Begining

So I started with an XLT and added the FX grille, deleted the mirror reflectors, added the mud guards in the wheel wells, F150 mats, Rosen Nav, Back up camera, ez down tailgate, jet chip, k&n filter, fx taillights, F150 truxedo cover and black emblems. Trying to ditch as much chrome as possible. Thinking halo headlights, factory remote start, leveling kit, dual exhaust, flares and Nittos.

Veddy nice




I'm gonna go against the grain though and say that I hate loud aftermarket exhausts.
I don't know how anyone can put up with that v8 rumble everywhere they go, day in and day out, that would drive me insane. It's right on par with ricers with loud fart cans.

All depends on the exhaust. I have borla, LT headers and hi-flow cats. You know I have exhaust, but when I'm just cruising, it isn't loud at all.

I have been looking into Flowmaster 40 series. I found a place locally that will do the dual exhaust with 3in tips and the Flowmaster for $300, but I am trying to get my hands on black rolled exhaust tips.... sticking with the whole no chrome. Found a place that stocks them but they are talking $450 for the full set up. I am wanting to get that nice sound from the outside but have no drone on the inside. I really like how quite the inside of my truck is at the moment.

Why not buy rolled black tips then take them with you to the first place and have them do it?

I believe mine (stainless) are 12" long. Don't know the diameter though. I just went to a local shop and told them to put on 2 stainless steel tips
