Considering how bad a new car depreciates, your new vehicle may depreciate more than the 4,000 in the first year. So even with better mpgs you will never trully break even.

I drove the truck this past weekend for the first time since listing it, and I must say it felt nice. A couple weeks ago I was committed to selling it, and now I'm teetering back to the keep it side. Right now I'm smack in the middle. If I get my price that's in my head, I'll sell it. If I don't, I'll keep it.

So on that Troyer site, you buy it online? Do they then ship whatever it is to your house or do they ship it to a place that will install it? I assume installation is an extra charge than that online price?

Yeah, but that stuff is fairly simple... the tuner you plug into your OBII port on the end of the drivers side of the bash... the intake goes in and it has directions and the exhuast has been done many many times by people. It looks like a bolt on so you could do it yourself or have a shop install it and weld it all up.

I know a good mechanic, so it's something that he could do fairly easily? I'm not a welder.

Yeah.. the exhaust is a bolt on so it has clamps to secure it which hold up fine... the kits people buy online, they are bolt on and clamped. If you had it installed, I would prolly have it welded if that was available but it is not necessary

Here are some vids showing the magnaflow 18" si/so exhuast on an f150 (Troyer's would be this or a similar set-up in terms of brand variations)

The CAI is similar to this as well.
