MarkF250,
Truck looks great. The detailed pic's in your gallery are a big help.
How do you like your exhaust set up? I was thinking about doing the exact same thing.. Increase or decrease in performance? Cost?
Thanks.

I love the exhaust set-up. A little noisy, but I like it. High band performance gain. 0 mpg gain. The Flowmaster 40 was 59.99 from Summit Racing and had it installed at a local shop for $40 plus the chrome 4x18" tips...total was about $90 bucks. The bigger tips made it sound better. I had the 3"x14" tips.

Hey MarkF250,
Where did you get your head unit DIN adapter? I can always use an extra slot.

Acetoned Badge UPDATE...
I used braided fishing line to saw the badge away from the truck. There are 2 post on the badge. So to get the fishing line between the post in the middel I used a hacksaw blade with the hole in the end to fish the line behind the badge(very carefully)I put a towel between the blade and paint as to not accidentally scratch the paint. The adhesive is a monster. This stuff really sticks. This is why I used braided line so it won't break while sawing. Then I used 3M adhesive/wax remover to help pull the adhesive off. I put it on and let it soak while I was acetoning the badges...Also had to 3M the badges to get the old adhesive off. I used 3M body mold adhesive to re-attach the badges. I ordered the new "XLT" and replaced that. I just didn't want to screw the paint up on my truck. I'd rather screw up taking the badges off than screw up the paint. Badges are cheaper to replace.

I haven't priced new badges....don't need to now. But when I did order the XLT <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">decal</a>, I specifically told them that it was for the Super Duty. When it arrived, it was the exact duplicate of the original.
