Whats up guys, I finally after a solid year of debating figured out how I wanted my exhaust to be ran and finally had it changed yesterday. Heres my old setups just incase other ppl might be feeling the need for a change.
Factory:


Bare with me for some reason I decided to take all my former setup pics right before darkness hits. This was a dual setup kind of a mixture between the street sweeper and straight out the back style. I just didn't like it from the start, never did have it tipped because I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it this way.

I had to mess with the resolutions of that pic to get it to even show anything. But you can kinda get the gest of it.

And finally thanks to the enlightenment of a fellow F150onliner lol I found my true passion.



So I had the guy had to cut my 18' maggy and move it up about a foot, he cut the dual 2.25' pipes off, rewelded 2 2.5' pipes and dipped them out with chrome tips, I know the tips arnt the best, but its all he had at the time he let them go for 5 bucks and he told me when I get a set of stainless he will weld them on for nothing.
Needless to say I have figured out what my heart desired as far as exhaust I love it. Thanks to Dexx00420 man for all your help with the issues, and the motivation my wife really appricates it lol.!

 

Hey Strike brother it looks good!! you wouldn't have and pictures of it underneath would you?? That's the set up that I'm seriously thinking about doing, mine are out the back and my tips are starting to rust after several years and when they rust thru I want to put 2.5 dual instead of 2 1/4 that I got now..If you got underneath photo's I would like to see them...

Looks good,and nice F150

 

These are the only shots I got without gettin underneath the thing. The last pic shows alittle gap between the two tips the installer was worried the chrome would stain each other if they were touchin so he gapped them a bit. Thats one of the issues I can get resolved when I go stainless. But hey I dont care I like it. Plus it really opened that maggy up man, it sounds SO much better!

 

if you want great SS tips, look into Silverline, a little pricey but well worth it! Love the side pipes, looks like my 2000 with how they are set and not rolled on their side!

 

looks good to me! I know summit sells their own brand of tips and arent too expensive.

 

Thats pretty cool.
Wont darken the side panel any will it?

 

Thanks for the pic's...Man that looks good!!!!! Is it a si/do or di/do?? So its 2.5 all the way now right??

that is it!! You sold me brother!! If mine looks half that good, I'll be real happy. I just might change it before they finally rust out, my tips and muffler!!

How does the Cherrybomb Extreme sound?? A local muffler shop here said they are getting popular on the trucks locally

 

i think they're pretty mean. you can youtube it and find some videos

Thanks fella's!!
