Performance and Sound
I am new to Ford truck family. I just bought a 2010 White Platinum 4x4 and I am wanting to start doing some mods.
Looking for the best sounding and performance exhaust. I will be adding cold air intake and programmer as well when I figure out from you guys what is the best and most reliable. I do a lot of traveling so I don't want to be stranded but am also about power and speed.
I own a 65 cobra and a 13 second durmax dually so I know how to do it just never on a Ford truck.
Anyway any help on what I should do first would be great.
Thanks in advance

If hyou want a fast Ford truck you might as wel buy a Lightning. And your exhaust wont leave you stranded.
A simple single in dual out system with a straight through design would be good. 2.25" mandrel bent true duals with an X pipe where the OEM Y pipe was would perform well for towing also, but cost a bit more to have done, and hum inside more.

I know the exhaust won't leave me straned I was talking about a performance tune that would.
I don't want a lot of inside drone just real crisp sound and good performance.
What's the best tune and Air intake system?

Intake = STOCK - it's a very good one with a well-flowing filter.
Tune = SCT custom from either Troyer Performane or VMP. I would also suggest Gryphon from PHP, but they are not ready yet, AFAIK...
==> some info on both: https://www.f150online.com/forums/20...highlight=2009

From Justin's website:
"Any aftermarket intake that flows well and puts the slot-style MAF sensor into a larger less restrictive housing is going to REQUIRE a tune for the vehicle to run properly. Intakes that do not require a tune are often just as restrictive as stock and do not result in large power gains."

Mileage increase - marginal at best
Power levels - yes, but not as high as diesels.
It all depends on the mods you have them tune for. A tune that has a full exhaust and a cold air intake in it will net more power than just a canned tune. You should be gaining about 30 HP and 45 TQ.
