[taisa899]

with all that chrome you should have just bought a 1950's or 60's car!:t-up:




Jim

[Slide Hammer]

For me, it was a Catalytic Converter.

I had no choice in changing it as the exhaust was loose when I bought the truck and had cracked the Cat.
I did, however, have a choice in the type of Cat. I went with a Magnaflow Direct-fit (P/N 93302)

Side Note: FORD wants $1700 for the factory Cat.:lgh2:

[FirstTry]

i would have a few choice words for that parts counter

[Smokefan]

Might of been the Napa were MW works and he inflated the price to try and pocket money to support the team

[f150phule]

My first Mod was new tires, cuz the ones on it when I bought it tended to hydroplane with just one drop of water. :P
I avoid buying anything from the Stealership. I needed 1 new center cap for the FL tire, FORD wanted $89 for 1. I went to Van and Truck world on Wellington near the Costco, $66 for a new set of 4. :)

[fordtough.ca]

What a diffrence in pricing
:t-up:

[Yblocks4ever]

Exhaust, I don't need a CD player when I got a straight piped Flattie.

[fordtough.ca]

Not when you have straight pipe.
How loud is it
:scrch:
Any problems with cops?

[Smokefan]

I never had mufflers on my '05 Stang, and never had issues with the po-po. Funny thing about the stereo issue, I am looking for a clean way to delete the radio from my stang!

[Biz]

I bought the Cobra brand new, one of the deals was to take my old exhaust off the Cobra I was trading in, and switch it onto the new one...so when I picked it up it was already modded...lol

[Smokefan]

at least you haven't done anything since.....

[03lariat]

for me it was installe my 2 10" subs and satelite radio, the truck already had exhaust superchips and k&n intake when i got it:))

[Biz]

at least you haven't done anything since.....

my bank account will argue with you on that point. :))

[Smokefan]

1st mustang mod done already....

[taisa899]

Jim

[Smokefan]

[taisa899]

you're like my ex! A giant tease!:lgh2:



Jim

[Biz]

gas, insurance,e-test and safety dont count as mods :lgh2:

[taisa899]

neither does that washer!



Jim

[Biz]

neither does that washer!



Jim

I dont know it is a ford part..lol

[FirstTry]

you should polish an aluminum plate and block your radio hole off with that. i filled the extra space in my dash like that.

right now i have my stock Ford radio, and two high end pioneer decks, and one cheapy pioneer, the only two that work are the ford and cheap pioneer, cept i can't hook either of them up. so technically, i have not modded my truck, i misrepresented myself

[Biz]

still no pics :no:

[FirstTry]

i know i know, momma hasn't sent them to me yet. i don't have the photo program on my comp

[Denis254]

[Bush_aholic]

Sound system, Tonneau, K&N, and Exhaust happened within the first month I got my truck, The rest just slowly appears from the bleu, Can you say impulsive buyer..lol

[fordtough.ca]

[SKRWZ]

Much nicer than stock

[Coruptyed]

Well my first mod was stereo system... next three on the same day was LED's underglo, Flowmaster and LED Grill Scanner. I have many more mods im just waiting until next weekend to purchase and install... One forsure is CAI ;)

[Z1Krob]

I voted lighting cause I Put in silverstars.I also wired my corner lights to flash alternating with my signals and wired up my fogs to stay on with the high beams while I had the headlights out.

But my first was actually my lorider tonneau. But I forgot before I voted. lol

[jutwan]

First mod was installing aftermarket headunit and 10" sub. Next was Altezza tails, truck already had clear corners when i bought it. after tails was firestone destinations, and then a 14" magnaflow si/do next on the list when money comes is blue lights inside truck and then a CAI.

[Lilbigtrk]

when i first got my truck it had the body lift and the tires on it

[TheBud]

first post I guess should go in the first mod section... 2.5" DJM lowering armses..and removed the lift block in the rear and 2" shackel... total drop was 2.5" in the front and 3.5" in the rear...boo! if I remove the spare tire and a little gas in the tank she'd be a serious rake..

[1SILVER06F150]

Stereo,then tint,then sticker,then the ford F-150 bug deflector,then followed by tonneau cover.

[Oreo]

As soon as I got the truck I installed a K&N intake.

[Oh My Hog]

It all started with an HD bug deflector and soft tonneau cover.

[mitchbtu]

The first thing I changed was I took out the stock am/fm only and stock rear speakers, and put in a am/fm/cass/cd from a 99 windstar, and put in the Sony speakers from a Xplode system... I love having a yard full of old cars at my disposal...

[shelbyx1]

first mod was putting the custom designed grafics and ss grill,more wallet dieting to follow:)

[Ken24]

Mine was my 'sweet-talker' muffler!! It had been a long time since i had a V8 and dammit, it was going to sound like a V8!!

[b4000]

My first one must have been the $25 bug deflector I got at the local Walmart that was on clearance price. Said on the box it was for a 1999-2001 Ranger (I think), but it fit my hood perfectly. Judging by all the paint chips below the headlights, that was the best $25 I've spent in a long time!

[PSD911]

AFE Stage II cold air intake. Fuel economy up 4% quicker throttle response and a nice whistle can be hear during shits. :cool-smiley-9027:

[b4000]

... a nice whistle can be hear during shits.

You might want to get that checked out with your proctologist. :icon_eek:

can you whisle dixie ? lmao







your going to be rich with your new talent haha :icon_eek:

[lonerangerxlt]

my first mod would have been the sas didn't like going through all the hub assemblys and the auto hubs never worked for me so thought it was time for the dana 44 and the truck was worth nothing with it having 411,000 on the truck

[swackly]

My 1st mod was windows tinted.

[Black Ice]

The first mod was to remove theFX4 emblems.Then New Hella Blackouts.

[herbz]

Roush 500RC Grille was the first official mod, the first thing I really did was take the stupid dealership stickers off of it.

[Axehandler]

The downpipe broke off the turbo and i noticed a couple of other cracks in the exhaust system. So i upgraded to a set of Smokers (stacks) no muffler or cat. Welcome to more power (insert Tim Taylor chant here).
