Here is how his ended up. Turned out nice!




Josh I should had done what you did with the wheel's as I really wanted the retractable running boards but didn't like the wheel combination (same as yours came with) that I would be forced to have with my "color combination".


Should had waited for some take off's but am getting used to the extended boards to help me reach inside my tool box a few times a day.

Gonna order an FTE muffler. Gotta knock some drone down. Would love to get the exhaust out further, but I prefer the look of the raw aluminum versus a tip.

Not sure if you've ordered the FTE resonator but the flo pro twister is the exact same thing for less cost. They're manufactured at the same place. That is if you were just planning on the shorter one. Flo pro does not sell a 30" resonator just a 12"(which is the same size as the FTE 17"). Either brand though, they definitely get rid of the drone 100%.

Stopped by to put my stamp of approval on the bumpers before they put all the plastic trim back on. Didn't know the rear bumper was two piece. Learn something new everyday. Anywho, here are some shots of a 2017 without bumpers for the sake of.....well.....just because!

Hi OP,

I want to do the straight pipe like you have and delete, but I don't want to "roll coal". Are you having this happen on hard throttle?

This tune isn't capable of it even if you tried. It's a Ford export calibration, so no power is added. You are just able to remove the DPF and DEF. True custom tuning isn't available yet.

Here is a quick video. That is all you will get as far as smoke goes. Even at full throttle going down the road.
