Modification Recommendations?
I have a bone stock 2002 Ford Excursion with 60k miles. I want to start adding modifications for performance, towing power, and an aggressive sound. My thought was to get the following items:
Edge Products Juice w/ Attitude Monitor 2001-2003 (#EJF2100A-WAM)
MBRP 4-Inch Turbo-Back Aluminized Exhaust System Excursion
MBRP Inc, Angled Exhaust Tip (4" Inlet, 5" Outlet) T5053
This is all from Xtreme Diesel Performance and the price is right about $1,000. Does this sound like a good start and a good price? I like the Edge Attitude monitor becuase I didn't want to add anymore gauges. Maybe this is silly... Don't know.
Is this a good price? Could I save money by not getting Aluminized exhaust? Should I?
Thanks!

I don't like too many integrated systems if I can help it. If my gauge breaks, I can replace that one instead of the entire disply. I'd get the gauges seperately if it were me. Besides, is the Edge tuner as good as the DP Tuner programs? Somehow I doubt it. 409 or AL exhuast is fine unless youa re running in heavy salt environments.

Get a DP Tuner instead of Edge, then depending on how you drive you might want to look at a BTS valve body.
Gauges first then get air filter either tymar or similiar, exhaust, If you decide to get a valve body then get it at the same time as the DP so they can set it up to work together.

BTS or DP-Tuner are not really optional, IMO
