I'd keep a close eye on the stock air box. They've been known to leak and not filter to well. Otherwise, you're engine is cleaner than mine.

Nice to see another hand shaker on here. Looks like you're still running the factory hydraulics, which is a good thing. The Ford replacement parts come with a solid black reservoir for the clutch so you don't notice when your new Ford slave cylinder starts to leak and the fluid level drops.

But that's a story for another day. For now you've managed to remove the foil without slicing yourself to shreds. Congrats on your first mod. The rest of them are no more difficult once you get the right mind set. Keep reading the forums here and you'll be amazed at all the stuff you end up doing yourself. Then you'll be even more amazed at what you read about dealers wanting to charge for things you have already done, or could do.

You know, I haven't noticed that much difference in sound since I put my 6637 in. Then again I have only driven it around town. But I will get to see what it sounds like this coming Wed. When I head to Ohio. Maybe I'll see the difference then.

I didn't notice to much but I think that was my last mod. I already had the intake and exhaust done. It looks much cleaner without it so that alone made me happy.
