I was never lucky enough to be given a car or truck.
But if I was, I'd add the Excal2, Magnaflow SIDO and Air Force One Intake.
hat's what I added to my truck. It made it fast and made it sound sooooo impressive.

Why do you care if he has a new truck or not? If your argument is that all young'ins are bad drivers, they'll wreck what they have regardless. It's not your money so you have no place to comment.
No hatred. I come from a poor family and was never given a vehicle or had a penny worth of gas bought for me. I've earned everything I own.
If you want performance I have a better idead. Tell daddy to buy you a new Suzuki GSXR1000 don't forget to buy a helmet. Make sure you ride in shorts, wife beater, helmet and flip flops.
Discalimer: I would never recommend anyone buy anything from Suzuki.

i bought half of my first car only because my dad didnt want to get me a junker, also ive had my licence for about a year now and before that a permit for a year. i know thats not a long time at all, but not every teenager is an irresponsible brat. anyways thanks for your help everyone

When i was 16, my dad sold me his old chevy blazer and in two years tranny and engine blew. There are alot of irresponsible teenage drivers but not all of them. I wouldnt waste the time with the intake but i would get the xcal2. Been on my list for awhile now. Just cant justify it w/ gas prices the way they are.
alrite thanks to all that replied, right now it looks like like im gonna go with an X-CAL2 from troyer performance, the magnaflow SIDO exhaust system, and maybe the Airraid air intake. Power wise what am i looking at? 350ish? troyer says the airraid adds 20 horses, xcal adds 25-30 maybe and the exhaust 10 maybe? so possibly 60 extra horses?

Some of you think your F-150's are Million Dollar Exotic cars or something, get over it it’s a freaking middle class citizens truck………….Me personally would rather my child be in a safe reliable vehicle such as a newer truck in case of an accident, break down in the middle of nowhere, or whatever the case may be??

Comparing apples to oranges here………….when is the last time you have seen a F150 do a 10 second quarter mile and be one of the fastest production vehicle such as the Gixxer is to its rivals?

P.S.
I got too riled up over that pinhead and missed this response of yours. I did the same package from them except SI/SO exhaust and made a noticeable difference and sounds pretty good around town. I do a lot of highway driving so sometimes it gets a little loud for me but overall am very happy with the outcome with the package. Also I chose the Airaid over the AF1 due to a lot of members seemingly having issues, particularly with the 04 models...........so in my opinion that combo you have picked is bang on!!

alrite thanks a lot tony. another thing i was also looking at was a 2.5 leveling kit. ive looked at that daystar kit, but ive also seen the autosprings kit around here on peoples trucks. what are some other options exhaust wise? is magnaflow the best choice? anyways thanks
p.s. im not looking for anything too loud, just something thats noticeable, and thats gonna give me a grin, but when im on the interstate i dont feel like getting a headache.

It’s not obnoxiously loud by any means..........heck when I was your age I would have thought it was not loud enough!! lol The only time I notice it being a bit louder than I like is at certain speeds on the highway (I tend to do long trips with and without a travel trailer), and first thing in the morning and I use my remote start. Other than that it sounds good. I mainly went with the Magnaflow as I know Troyer has a ton of experience with them and the Airaid ensuring I could get an optimal tune for the package and simplicity.
