i bought an 03 f150 w/ a 4.2 5-speed and i want a beefy exhaust and (possibly) a programmer...any recommendations?

 

Programmer is going to be a waste of money on the 4.2,concerning exhaust,you could have a set of duals put on,but this would still be somewhat of a waste.
Dont get me wrong,Ive had a 97 with the 4.2,and now an 07 with the same powerplant.Loved the 97,and the 07 is a dream to drive.
Just isnt alot that will help this small v-6 in a full size truck.

 

Well I'm not too concerned with the power aspect as much as the sound. Would it still be a waste of time or is there something out there that can "man up" my truck?

 

Well with a 4.2 exhaust isn't gonna be beefy as many other people will say... But I myself have a 99 with a 4.2 and 5 speed with a SIDO Flowmaster 40 series with 3.5 inch tips and it kinda wines a bit in first and second but sounds better through the other gears. Sounds good idling also. Just my two cents

Ya I am looking at changing up the exhaust also on my '00 F150 4.2L I am getting this weekend. Its to quiet but don't want it to sound like crap. Seems like Flowmaster is the muffler that most run on their 4.2L.

 

thank you for the advice
