Hello guys, first post here. Glad to be part of the team here.
Anyways, I'm considering putting on an cat back exhaust on my truck, which is a AFE catback exhaust. My question is do I need a tune or cai in order to make it run properly? Or can I just run a cat back and it'll be fine on warranty and all that? Thanks, Robert

No need for a tune. Intakes and exhausts don't require tunes, just a couple tools and probably three beers.

I was thinking of doing the same thing to truck. Please post how things went after. I'll be installing a K&N airflow system next week and be posting the results ASAP.

So just my opinion, Ford made these trucks with the current set up for a reason. Countless hours and money was spend on R&D. Projectors well, They're awful. Not very good lighting. If anything buy a good quality led set up you will much happier.

Thank you for your input. The projector headlight I was talking about have the LED'S in them. They should for the price. Do you have any preferences? Thanks.

My experience with aftermarket headlights led to 8 resealing processes, 7 busted bulbs, $$$ of dollars wasted, and 1 annoyed me. I know this isn't typical but it was enough for me.

Run straight pipes. Makes turbos sound rad

I just installed the K&N CAI system in my 2012 F150 S CREW EB and it sound great. I took it out on the thruway and immediately saw better throttle response. It was definitely worth the money just to hear the turbo's taking in a lot more air.

I installed some hid's from ebay. That looked awesome. Lights didn't emit as much light as the stock heads. I removed them and am going to buy a better set. I would recommend spending a little extra for the food hid's they put on the higher end f150s

 

[Cspfitch]

Thank you I will look into those

So you can a already hear them noticeably With just the intake? That's good to hear I am about to install a full intake system and I am hoping that the intake plus the straight pipes they will whistle like crazy. (They already sound pretty bada** with just the pipes?

Any video clips?

He bought a 4" hearthrob then put a 4 inch straight pipe in the place of the muffler.

that would mean he still has cats and resonator.

 

[2Canches]

So coming off resonator. 4" all way back? Sounds not bad

i like his idea on the turbo noice but can we run the Eco with straight pipes or would there not be enough back presure
