I've never heard anything other than glasspacks on an FE... how do the flowmasters compare? My exhaust is pretty new, so no changes for now. I am curious, though.

OK,now we get to the part about where I win the lottery.

I'm not only going to have a great sounding set of pipes put on my baby, but Im going to petition Ford to put a STICK behind a 5.4 and then make my baby even tougher than she already is.
Then I'm going to start working on my truck.

Someday i will get around to doing the exhaust on this truck, but I don't have a big block, so I am going with some cherry bombs or other glasspacks. They sound good on this motor.

Good call, Dick. I really do like the 5.4 in my Expy, as much of a bad rap as they do get. That thing is extremely TALL geared for the highway, but still pulls better than a 351, IMO.

Now put a stick behind that thing and see what it can really do!

My list right now includes:

1. Oil filter relocation kit
2. K&N Air cleaner assembly
3. DUI Distributor and LiveWires
4. Edelbrock Performer Intake
5. Holley Truck Avenger 670 cfm carb
6. Rear Sump oil pan
7. Headers
8. Shocks (either Rancho RS5000 or ProComp ES9000)
9. Front Springs
10. Paint and windshield

I hope to order the top two tomorrow, time to change the oil!
