I’ve been wondering if the Aussie versions of tailgate seals are better suited than the approach we’re all taking. They have molded corner blocks and the strip seals are hard fastened to the opening of the bed. Only problem is they cost a fortune! I want to try one but everyone I have emailed about it never answers back from down under!
They're attending to Kangaroo's ??? :LOL:

I did the tip thing with the Rhino tip, no flaking so far, will see long term though. It's seems to be pretty good quality. I think painting the exhaust up to the muffler makes it look better as well.
The Rhino Tip? Do you have a link to that one? I'm about to take my tip off and try a different one. Did you just use black high heat paint to paint the tailpipe with? Or something else?

I initially tried the 10 inch Go Rhino extension, but sent it back and went with the 14 inch. I cut about 3-4 inches of the tailpipe off so you couldn't see it while looking at the end of the extension. I just painted from the extension to the muffler with the high temp VHT matte black paint. I think they have the gloss black finish (black chrome) in the same pipe as well, but I went with the matte black. Looks much better than stock, but we will see long term if it holds up and doesn't flake. See my photos at post #7797

I just looked at this and found there's a dealer about 5mins from my parent's place...I've asked my old man if he can go have a look, see what the stand-alone price is (as Ford's advertised price includes installation).
Please report back on this. I've also contacted Aeroklas directly with the hope they may be able to advise on compatibility.

Yeah, to me they are. The mid-range and highs are way more clear, as in you can really hear cymbals/top hats etc from drums and bass seems a tab deeper???cleaner???

Sound settings on radio are bass mid, mid-range about a 1/4 to left and hi at mid, but adjust to suit taste.
I put these in my Crutchfield cart, and I checked tonight and they lowered the price by $10. So, if you're interested, dump them in your cart and wait. BTW, they are on amazon for 10 bucks less, but if you buy from Crutchfield you get the detailed installation instructions for free, so win win.
