Whats up guys! Been awhile! I was trying to update with pics last month but there was an error with images displaying. The clown searched and resolved a minor system error and pics are up for view now! So this will be a 2 part update since the truck has been changed twice in these updates

Washed, waxed, hyperdressed. Prepare to be flooded by pics.

I finally, after a whole year of running stock, got my exhaust done on 6-8-12. Here is what went in. Part #s are URLs to products.
-Mandrel bent 2.5" 90 degree bend for drivers side merge to Y pipe
-Magnaflow #10778 Y pipe
-3" single intermediate pipe unbent in T-409
-Magnaflow #14419 Magnapack.
-Magnaflow #10778 Y pipe for tail pipes
-Mandrel bent T-409 2.5" tailpipes 45'd
-Magnaflow #35117 tips ( 4"x18" Rolled Edge )
Only one pic of the outside.
Sounds great, surprisingly loud. I know it is a small muffler but I didn't expect the volume it puts out with stock cats. It rumbles real nice inside. Not over bearing, just right ( imo ). I can hear it over my M/Ts easily, even at 70mph. It wasn't as loud inside my 2004 with the same M/Ts and true dual Bullets. Overall I am happy so far. Remote starts and cold starts are a lot more fun now! I will get videos soon!
Next on the list are some more performance goodies, #93136 hi-flow cats and some OBX or Pacesetter Ceramic LT headers. If the exhaust is way to loud for me at that point I will be having a Borla XR-1 installed in-place of the Magnapack.
Here is a small vid I made, just set the tripod up on a no outlet road and made a couple passes.

Took a couple nice-ish pics I thought I would share.
And yes, that is in front of a cemetery. It was father's day and I went to check in on my late father, r.i.p.

Finally, some more actual modification updates! Got some money to put into the truck so lets see.
I bought an LED 3rd brake light from eBay, the same one I stupidly let go on my old truck. Should have took that before trading it in. Got some cargo LED bulbs at the same time. My rear light output at this point is now fully LED.
I bought a set of mirrors exact to what my truck's are ( heated/signal/drivers side dim ) with painted white tops, I am running those for when I have my stock mirrors painted and can still use my truck. I will re-sell them afterwards.
I was going to buy a leveling kit and found a guy on the f150online classifieds selling a 1yr old used Autospring 2.5" for $50.00. Scooped that deal up immediately. Will put in myself when I get the time, and can have a follow up alignment ready.
I bought a painted rear bumper from an '06 FX4 off eBay for $235 with a free ship, killer deal! It is scratched up a little but it hardly shows. Will have it repainted when I take the mirrors in. Till then I installed it on the truck. Love it!
I have wanted darker front windows for a long time, I had 15% Llumar film since last year ( installed myself ). I ordered some pre-cut 5% Llumar with a sunstrip because my friend with an '04 FX4 wanted the sunstrip, so I got new front door tint at the same time. Installed it when it arrived a few days after. I am much happier with the darker look, heat rejection, and the overall mystery boss feeling inside of the truck. However, night time is a lot more treacherous in the neighborhood streets. I put my windows down at intersections to see better. This was a cheap enhancement, but very time consuming. I hate removing old tint. What a job!
And some sweet photoshop enhanced old pics till the next update.

Alright! I hit the truck up with some enhancements and photographically documented it! I installed the new rear bumper, clayed/polished/waxed it prior though, removed my 4x4 decals, and removed the "Leer 700" stickers on my tonneau lid. MUCH cleaner! I love the look. So here are the updated photos of how the truck sits as of now.
Here are some tint compare pics. First three are of the 5% sunstrip, and 15% on the front doors. Next three are of the 5% on the doors.
And here is the 5%.
That is it for now, stay tuned! Fully PTM mirrors are next, along with glossy B pillars, some interior LEDs (5000k in color, no blue crap inside), I plan to get one of those Cravenspeed shorty antennas so I can park in the garage without hitting, and I should be able to get the leveling kit in soon.
