Cheap first mod...

I added a tip to my exhaust pipe - the OEM pipe looks cheap...

I think it looks better...

The tip looks great, but I got to be honest, that hose clamp looks cheap. Can't you tack weld or rivet the thing in place? Maybe it's just the camera angle and you don't notice the clamp unless on your knees?

By all means, weld it on before it shows up on some kid's rice rocket.

Clamp is built in - you can only see it if you bend over and look at it... Ford should have put a tip on from the factory - makes the truck look finished...

i kinda wish ford would send these trucks off the assembly line with optional duel exhaust. kinda like dodge now has duels from the factory. idk just a thought.
