Lol

I'll do my best to keep it... Sometimes if I'm at a red light i tend to feel like I'm in the Chevy. Then I'm reminded I'm in the ex when i step on the gas and I'm pressed against the seat. don't get me wrong thou, my old Chevy had a flow master exhaust kit with titanium headers on a big block v8. but this baby just punches out like a mad train. I'm surprised on the gas mileage. My suburban dropped a quarter tank just turning it on..lol. I'm surprised at how far a quarter tank takes me.

Now i just wanna either jack it up or just get beefier tires and keep the low long look. I want the rough low look but also would like to see it with 4'' lift on 35's. I live in the everglades and would love to swamp it some. Don't know yet....

Lol.. I try to back it in because if i don't then i have to walk around the block just to get in the driver door.. Plus it's easier to drive out then it is to have to back up and then drive out. It's definitely not a civic..

yup. That'll do. lol. You got me beat. I have my dodge ram behind my X. Doesn't really give you much room to work on the front end and not be in the street. Damn short driveways.

Based on what I have personally seen ....... the only Excursions I have ever seen with the rear exit muffler and pipe like that are the 5.4 V-8s.

The V-10 and the diesel come out the right side behind the back tire. There may be exeptions, but I have never seen any.

I feel you. The space i left in front is so i dont have to walk around ... I don't think i can fit mine in the garage. It was a tight fir with the minivan so i know this wont fit. Haven't even tried... Ohhhh... cant find parking on South beach.

I wouldn't straightpipe it. Put a muffler back on. It will sound better.

someone mentioned that that's not a catalytic converter. but it is, It's awkwardly behind the tire then the tail pipe hangs low on the truck. I'm thinking of cutting it where the converter starts and adding a 3 inch can tail pipe from advance..
