My exursion christmas wish list
Now that I can finally get some needed parts for my ex, I have created a list of what I want and was hoping to get peoples opinions and recommendations.
New headers (and exhaust?)
5star tune
ATS c code springs
interior carpet
high output alternator
I am interested in the banks system, but might be to rich for my budget.
I have the v10, so is there an alternative to the banks system or can i piece something together?
Anyone put that system on their v10?

Save for the banks system, worth every penny!
I had it done on my previous ex and really loved it.
As far as your carpet, I couldn't find the link but someone just recently removed it and washed it outside the truck, it looked new.

Before you spend your Christmas cash on carpet, have you tried washing yours ?
Ford used remarkably high quality carpet and it comes clean very nicely using a pressure washer ( or a car wash ) and some Super Clean applied with a nylon brush and a bit of elbow grease.
I would have sworn mine was toast. Turned out almost as good as new and better then the aftermarket carpet would have been in my opinion.
Was an easy Saturday project and I even scrubbed the leather and detailed all the trim work.

Doh.... Wrong pic, oh well. You get the idea.
It's worth a try, you have to take it out anyhow. Might as well spend a little time pressure washing it. Worst case you throw a seat back in, order your carpet and finish the job a few days latter.

Another vote for washing your carpet. Worked wonders on my old Galant VR-4. I'd say soak it with Simple Green or any type of cleaner and then hit it with the pressure washer. Let it dry thoroughly before you put it back. While the interior is out, it would be a great time for new speakers or running wires for an amp if that interests you, or maybe add some more sound deadening. When the carpet is clean, I would say get some floor mats.... I have Weather Techs up front and Husky Liners in the middle, rear, and cargo area. About $400 to have protection for the whole rig, but worth it in my opinion.

I love simple green but it wasn't getting my stains out so I went for drastic measures and used Super Clean. Available by the gallon at your parts store.... It will take oil out of your concrete driveway !!!!
I had a bunch of Dynomat left over from another project and did my floor. There are better sound barriers then Dyno mat if you are going out and buying it for this purpose.

As much as I'd like to save money washing it, the previous owners dogs made it like home in more ways than normal
I'm definitely going to sound deaden the truck, the road noise is horrible but better since I switched to street tires

I did find a place that has the banks system for $1900 plus 15% off back Friday
Hopefully it'll still have the 15% going tomorrow

When I was shopping and got my Banks headers (Black Friday sale at AutoAnything for $890-ish, best deal I've ever seen on these.) I had Banks get down to 20% off their list price and free shipping. Get the best price you can find online and then call them and beat on them (nicely
) to work towards a price match, in my case the AA deal was still a few bucks cheaper but Banks was willing to play ball.Onboard air system and bags are on my list as well, what are you thinking so far? I haven't really started to put a parts list together just yet.

Fixed that for you.
It is a great unit that I've read about in the past but it may be just a little too rich for my occasional use.
