During the holiday break I went down to Chula Vista and bought a 1992 F-150 Custom Single Cab, Short Bed, 4x4 with a 5.8 v8. The plans are to do some stock width cut and turned beams with 14" c/o and bumps in the front and under the bed shock tower with some 12" shocks in the rear.
That's what I did. The 2 cats keep it pretty quiet. Opened the cat exit to 3" and definitely unchoked it. I'm not one to bullshit, it was actually pretty noticeable.
I had that same set up for about 10 hours and had to ditch it. Just tooooo loud for me. It sounds like a sweet plan youve got lined up for the rest of it, I too like the standard cabs
'96 XLT 5.8l lil edelbrock, lil Autofab, LOTTA fun.

The f150 I just bought has the exhaust chopped off right where the muffler should be, so a couple of feet of pipe outside the stock cats. It's not loud at all, surprisingly. I have a Black Widow to put on it anyway. I like your side exit though, I might be doing mine that way as well.
Sweet wheel and tire combo. I like the way it sits on 33's. This truck should be a lot of fun.
Yeah i have the two stock cats and no muffler and it sounds clean, not loud. I love the wheel tire combo so thank you
It will be a lot more fun once i have the suspension done on it. Hopefully i don't go too crazy on it like my bronco haha
I have the KO2's on my van, and love them. Great choice.
I first thought I would put 35's on my truck, but I really want to keep things simple. The 33's fill the stock wheel openings nicely without the headaches that bigger tires bring. Finally, a positive role model on this board!
Picked up 3 Vision X HID lights for the front bumper.
Swooped up this UMP filter that is supposed to mount up in the stock location. Pretty excited to start putting everything on.
