Sold my EX
Well I had to sell my EX. the fuel mileage was not going to work with me any longer, great truck loved it but I am looking at making more frequent longer drives and needed to get some fuel mileage. So that being said, I have a set of radius rods that have never been installed if anyone is interested I am going to post in the classifieds. $200+ shipping.

i hear ya on the cracker box........ craigslist is full of 'em!!
that's what i told my wife, if the gas mileage in the Ex starts to hit to hard, i'll drive the van (24-25mpg) and she can use the Ex for her occasional runs into town.

Another question, I saw you had a Flowmaster 40 series on it, I have an 04' with a 5.4 and wanting to go flowmaster 44 or 40, and the exhaust guy told me it would resonate in the cabin too much because the way the body is over the whole exhaust system. You have any issues? He was wanting to sell me on the magnaflow, but I prefer the flowmaster sound.

The radius rods are to help with the axle twist. I forget the links to them a member on here used to make them. As far as the exhaust goes I liked the sound and yes it did resonate in the truck a bit not not that bad when you were on the Highway. I had a manaflow on my f150 and liked the flowmaster better

no i don't think so, the radio would always drown it out with out having to be blasted.
we did end up getting another ford at least
we picked up a 2010 Focus for the time being, still trying to figure out how to park it... it's so small
