Howdy, New Guy Here

Well I just found this website about a month ago and I can't seem to get enough of it. My truck is about paid off so it's time for MODIFICATIONS. I'm gonna start with raising the front end and a new exhaust (which I need anyways). I gotta 95XLT Ext Cab 302 5spd 4X4. To think I almost thought of selling it (I've got EXCELLENT offers), However I can't seem to find trucks that look as good as these "older" FORDS. There's some real nice pictures throughout this sight. Well Done.
What's the best exhaust for a DEEP LOW (not Loud) Rumble? oh yeah, it looks like emmission testing is coming to my area.

Thats a nice lookin' truck, and welcome to the site. You can look at the tech article I wrote, click "tech articles" on the right, and look for the flowmaster american thunder kit. You might be able to get a better response with the exhaust forum, lots of knowledgeable people are there and you should get your question answered better there. I'm addicted to this site too I love it.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Heavyduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Weighs around 7,000lbs w. 65mph top speed, who wants to race me!

Welcome and good to meet you.

If you don't want loud at all, but a low rumble, the Flowmaster 70 is for you. If you go to the Flowmaster web site, they have recordings of what their different mufflers sound like. There's no qustion that they make a well-built, quality product.

Don't know where you're at, I've been living with emission tests on and off for the better part of 20 years and it's not the end of the world, you can have a clean running modified machine that passes all the tests and still hauls @ss.

Good luck-

Very nice truck there, gabany! About the rarest form of a 92-96 F-150, in my area at least (supercab, 4x4, long bed, STICK). Did you have a hard time finding it?
