I've never heard anything other than glasspacks on an FE... how do the flowmasters compare? My exhaust is pretty new, so no changes for now. I am curious, though.

OK,now we get to the part about where I win the lottery.

I'm not only going to have a great sounding set of pipes put on my baby, but Im going to petition Ford to put a STICK behind a 5.4 and then make my baby even tougher than she already is.
Then I'm going to start working on my truck.

Someday i will get around to doing the exhaust on this truck, but I don't have a big block, so I am going with some cherry bombs or other glasspacks. They sound good on this motor.

Good call, Dick. I really do like the 5.4 in my Expy, as much of a bad rap as they do get. That thing is extremely TALL geared for the highway, but still pulls better than a 351, IMO.

Now put a stick behind that thing and see what it can really do!
