How are the acoustics with the door setup?

 

Thanks man, I like the oldschool look of the round lights on the front. As for the grille the factory one had seen better days, and I got a hell of a deal on the N-fab grille.

They're loud, the back two don't really get used to their full potential until you open the doors. I have an old video I'll upload to youtube.

 

just got these back. Scrapin the coast rush, Ive had these silly things for over a year lol.

Here's a video from back in Mardi Gras this year

 

I remember talking about those long tubes a long time ago. I've had mine on for almost a year haha.

Both lights are fine, but I definitely liked the stock grill better. I thought it was weird that with all the modifications you've done, you still had the stock grill, but I liked it. Truck still looks good.

 

Truck is looking good. I kind of agree I liked it a little more before the LED bar and grill, but thats what makes it your truck. Overall a clean F150!

 

Hate to see tow mirrors go on but I figure they are a necessity when running LED bars, lift kit, huge wheels, etc etc. Just fits the stereotype lol

I think some 09-13 ptm mirrors would look great on there to get rid of the ugly 04-08 mirrors.

 

Thanks yall. I still haven't decided if I want to do the tow mirrors, I might just PTM the factory mirrors.

Here is what the finished doors are gonna look like, putting them back together for good tomorrow.

 

That looks great!

 

Installing the headers on the truck tomorrow morning then going to get exhaust welded up, 2.5" true duals, no cats, to a dual in dual out magnaflow muffler with turndowns and 4" tips.

Just ordered an SCT X4 from MPT performance with custom tunes, and I'll be ordering an AFE intake tomorrow at the shop. Hopefully will be installing cams before the end of the year and repainting the truck.

Little fast photoshop burnout:

annnnddd this weekend I have another calendar photoshoot at Scrapin The Coast in Biloxi

 

Just saw your truck going up IG Ivan. Be sure to post some videos, that thing is going to pur like a kitten

 

headers are done took about 4 hours. Can't get the exhaust welded until tomorrow so im driving it to work with open headers. Nice little corvette at the shop, $15k widebody kit, paint, cammed, full exhaust etc.

 

$15k JUST for the wide body kit? Damn.

4 hours is really fast. But I'd plug your upstream O2s back in, if you haven't already. I drove mine with open headers for about 2 miles and was afraid to get in it at all haha.

 

I put the upstream o2 sensors in before I ever started it. Needs the back pressure of the exhaust for sure, but I expect a difference with the custom tune and full exhaust.

Yessir, 15k plus labor to install and paint. It is 1.5" wider than a ZR1

 

That's ridiculous, but I've yet to see a wide body that I didn't find ugly, so to each their own.

Well the motor doesn't care about the back pressure, but it'll quiet it down. I didn't notice a damn thing from my long tubes, no cats, and custom tunes all done at the same time. Slight difference, but almost entirely just a noise change.

 

Got the truck back from the exhaust shop. If you're in the New Orleans area, I recommend Custom Muffler in Kenner. They do very solid work, knowledgeable and they take great pride in their work.

I'll have to get pictures later but I got true 2.5" dual exhaust with a magnaflow 2 in 2 out muffler with a built in X-pipe and 4" tips at a 45. The truck has a noticeable change in performance over the factory exhaust.
