Serious though, has anyone had a problem with thier body kit thing right behind where the exhaust comes out?

 

when I got the truck, the rear of the rear pipe was too close and actually touched a bit - had the pipe pulled forward ant it's OK.

 

Yeah, mine creaks if you breathe on it.

 

The exhaust on my first Lightning messed up the ground effects because it was too close. The exhaust was misaligned when I drove it off the lot. Ford replaced it and aligned the exhaust system under warranty.

My second one is exactly the same. After 1 week, it's already worn thru the edge of the ground effects. No big deal because it's a warranty fix. I'll have to admit, they always get it right the second time. I saw a new Lightning at a different Ford dealer this morning and although it wasn't in contact with ground effects, it was hanging very low.

But, after reading the boards for two years, I'm surprised they don't align the exhaust and check spark plug torque during dealer prep. They have a list to go over anyways. Why not add two more items?

I don't think any dealer would want to take the TIME to check spark plug torque... Even after they get it down to a science, they'll still be taking an hour of their time...

I agree about the exhaust, though - Maybe that's why so many people are blowing off the factory exhaust, huh?

 

my 02 is going to the shop for that very reason today. In fact, as soon as I am off of here, I will be heading that way. May also pick up bullitt fuel door while there.
