Exhaust Question
I am looking to put an exhaust on my 98 5.4L. I want it to sound a little throaty but nothing to loud. Just a mild rumble when i step on it. Any suggestions on what i should get, pipe size, muffler type and if anyone knows any sites that have some nice exhaust tips please post that.
I want to have a 2 tipped pipe exiting in the stock spot not dual exhaust.
Thanks.

I have the Flowmaster Force II catback and I love it - it has a single 3" pipe. Make sure you disconnect the battery for 1/2 hour after installing the new exhaust to allow the computer to reset itself and compensate for the less restrictive setup.

Exhaust Question
My buddy has the Banks Power exhaust and I really like it a lot. It sounds and looks great with the dual tip. I wish they made it for my 03 Expy.
BigMattXXL, I installed a Gibson exhaust in my truck a month ago, do you think I should do the disconnect the battery thingy as well?

BigMattXXL, I just put a Force II Catback on my Expy and love it. I disconnected the battery for thirty seconds and reset the computer (gages spiked). Do I need to disconnect it again for thirty minutes?

Exhaust Question
Did you ever figure out how resetting the computer change the sound of the exhaust? Do you think this is caused by a timing or mixture issue?

I put on a Gibson single side out system. It sounds good and really helps breathing. If your going to put on an exhuast, you might as well put on a new intake too....

Exhaust Question
After I installed my Gibson catback I emailed Gibson and asked them about resetting the computer and they said it was not neccessary. I wound up resetting it anyway after my intake mod, so I'm covered either way.

Exhaust Question
The mech for our fleet vehicles went to a Ford school and he recommends doing a reset each winter and summer. Something about moving around the perimeters of the computer, to allow for the temp change. He also recommends the reset for all mods or repairs.
