Got some accessories for my 2013 STX.

The exhaust was a spur of the moment thing, guy did the work for $70 and I was peer pressured into doing it but I'm glad I did. Dumps before the passenger side wheel and painted black. I was parked out at the mall today and caught two guys standing next to my truck talking about it. Good or Bad, it gets looks I just cut the muffler off. Kept the cat and the resonator. Sounds pretty good inside and outside the truck, but to be honest, a little too much cab drone for my liking. I may find a way to quite it up in the near future. Guy next to me in a Chevy reved up his truck after I took off from a stop, his sounded like a tin can was rattling around in the exhaust. It wasn't deep at all like my Ford's.



Added a tonneau trifold, a stubby antenna (don't buy it it sucks) which I made into a better antenna but coiling some wire inside of it (yes its hollow). Also added some projectors but I didn't feel comfortable cutting into the harness/wires so I'll have the professional shop in town wire up the LED/Halos.

What do you expect from a vehicle that has to wear a bowtie? Only thing worse is a ricer!!

I like those halos, I think they might look good on a Race Red [giant tomato], with blackout treatment on the tail lights.
Yes, let's hear a video on that exhaust. I wonder if the cab drone could be somewhat eliminated by running the pipes out the back, under the bumper. Just wondering, your truck looks good.

Well, here you go. A video of the exhaust at idle. No one was around to rev the motor and I didn't want to put my phone in the snow. So you get cold and warm idles. Perhaps if I get adventurous I'll post an in cab sound.

All I've got is the crappy speakers on my laptop, but it sounds similar to an old Boss 302 in the video. Is that what it really sounds like in person? That was one mean sounding car!

The mic doesnt pick up the low tones very well. It is much deeper than the video.

Looks good! I was thinking a nice chrome, or maybe black chrome tip would finish that nicely. They are a pain to keep clean, I have a D.O. in the same spot with 2 of the chrome tips from the "bling" package and they are next to impossible to keep clean. Where did you get the halos and what did they run ya? Looks good, can't wait to see more pics

Grabbed them off ebay made by Ikon. 09 12 Ford F150 Ikon Dual Halo DRL LED Black Housing Projector Headlights | eBay pretty cheap at $240ish. They seem to be decent quality. I'll be convinced if they don't get condensation in the spring time.
