Stock headers? Can you make a quick sound clip for us?

Sorry, but this post NEEDS a sound clip too!
Check out drunken Unicorn's thread on V-10 exhaust audio https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...and-ideas.html and 74mav's thread on duals with several sound clips. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-on-an-ex.html

Damned tipsy horned horse beat me to it!

I almost did a 40 series first. Came free from a friend, but it was too small (2.5 in-out), so I started doing my own research. Something about just going with the old school Cherry Bomb seemed fun since seems like most folks go with FM and the other big brands. Nice thing is I can still sneak out of the neighborhood in the mornings, no drone at cruising speeds (heck, you can hear the engine noise more than the muffler), but when you put your foot down EVERYONE knows.


Parking garages tho... So fun! I parked on the top floor wednesday just so I could burp it a few times on the way up.


Would recommend to anyone who wants a ferocious sound that can be controlled/toned down with an easy driving style.

I have one in the garage waiting for me to finish other projects before I install it on the Ex, lol. I bought mine from Tousley Ford, only paid like 40 bucks shipped for the dash panel. I got the smaller manual trans version instead of the big one, on the wife's request, but the bigger one wasn't that much more.

Haha, I know the feeling. especially if you want to do some minor wrenching on the thing. Today just put on a new radiator cap, and power steering cap. Tried to get to the signal relay, but damn I can't even see the darn thing. Going to be adding some LED's so ordered the correct LED relay. Any suggestions?
