~Gator SFX tri-fold tonneau cover
~removed STX stickers along with dealer badge
~removed Ecoboost badge
~Infidel, Come and Take It, and dont Tread on Me vinyl added
~RANGER tailgate lettering.

aFe Apollo GT Cat Back exhaust is on the way

future:
~aFe Twisted Steel catted down pipe
~intake of some sort
~aFe charge pipes
~suspension lowering???? (c'mon belltech...)
~AirDesign fender flares, cab and tailgate spoiler, fender vents.
~Method MR305 NV bronze/black lip wheels in 18x9 w/-12 offset (might change? id like to go with 20s but need better tire selection)
~tires undecided
~tune
~id like some sort of mechanical boost gauge

*update*

aFe is draggin ass on my shipment and i just got word from @PandaMotorworks that my kit was pushed back another 4 weeks.
he kindly offered to ship me the MBRP stainless kit instead.

of course i said yes.

so. MBRP 3" Cat back kit on the way!

 

[MyLittleRanger19]

MBRP kit came in yesterday. It looks fantastic. Big shout out to @PandaMotorworks for the great deal they gave me. I wil be posting a video with before and after sounds sometime on saturday. Ill try and film with both my Note10 and my Canon 7d.

The polished tip isnt in the picture because im an idiot

 

[MyLittleRanger19]

Exhaust is on!

Ill attach files as i get them edited down. Very impressed with MBRP on this. It sounds great.

That MBRP exhaust sounds pretty good. The second video is just cat and resonator?

In case you want to hear the MBRP with a catted downpipe.

lol no just cat. i took all exhaust off and said screw it, ill see what it sounds like. the video doesnt even come close to doing it justice. i should have gotten a dB reading. it was bad...

what DP are you using again? SPD right?
**edit** i guess i could have just watched the first 5 seconds if the video...

Haha all good. Yea spd stainless.

 

[MyLittleRanger19]

Haha all good. Yea spd stainless.

so, you still have a 2.5" section of pipe at the front of the exhaust right behind the DP right?

 

[Whiskeybilt]

Anyone sell an un catted down pipe?

aFe does.

"To complete the purchase of this item, aFe Power competition acknowledgement/liability release form must be filled out and submitted. "

their production for the exhaust was like 6 weeks out. panda offered me the MBRP stainless at the same price so i jumped on it. i would assume that aFe's production for their DPs is pretty backed up too.

No, I cut that out and had a new piece welded on.
