The Infamous V-10 Flutter....
I have a 2001 F-250 with the V-10 and about 30k miles. There's no question that it has the infamous exhaust flutter. 1800-2000 RPM its just there. Annoying as hell.
My question is has anyone successfully solved the problem? Is it worth the $1600 for the Banks Power Pack? How about the restricted Y-pipe from Ford?
Is there a real solution? I've read lots of threads and other than bending the inspection plate, I've not found anyone actually with exhaust flutter claim to have fixed the issue.
Thanks.

Ford had a fix for mine. They used a vibration dampener to solve the problem. The y-pipe vibrates back and forth, like a flow meter, and they just put a weight on it that hangs off about 6". It has to be placed in the right spot though. If you can't find it thru FORD, e-mail me and I'll see if I can help you.
