Special thanks to @Polar Bear for his post about this muffler!!
Got mine in today. I'll take pics of the finished product tomorrow!
During the install, I noticed how massive our stock mufflers are. That's the stock muff lying on the floor in the pic, with the box that contained the magnaflow...
I'm pretty sure they are on the XL too. I remember thinking how good the engine sounded when I got on the throttle, then after the install the engine sounded anemic and the chimes were routed to the instrument panel. Coincidence? I think not! Tricky ford..
HI Zaph, I used an Alpine 445u along with a parrot cable. The sub is a Rockville 8" powered underseat box connected before the alpine 445. I'm assuming if there was no alpine amp, the synooser sounds would have fine to the subs and annoyed the crap outta me
Got linex done yesterday. Didn't a pretty good job except for not masking off the bed extender holes. It wss a royal pain getting those holes patent again. But if you have a set of torx head bits, they can be used to bore out the line-x.
Stuck my Rough country bed mat back over it.
The best...
I have no idea how viable it would be, but have you thought about mounting something to your canopy clamps? They're cheap and easily replaced if you mess one up
For what it's worth, I noticed that my symposer sounds completely went away when I added a 4 channel speaker level input amp to my XL (4" screen). It also routed my chimes to the IPC speaker--which I didn't want.
I tapped the rear speakers for a powered subwoofer and there is no engine noise...
