Agreed. Good idea. Make sure you hit it with clear after the black. Or you could plastidip the bezel to see if you like it better before you commit to paint
Yes resonator out.
There is exhaust noise in the cab but not the headache-causing harmonic "drone" that most people are trying to avoid. I really wanted the lightning exit site, so some exhaust noise in cabin is acceptable to me. I'll try to get some video in-cab
Dyno results
They quote 30% drivetrain loss for their particular dyno setup
Pre-tune with aFe intake and SW catback exhaust was 300rwhp/335rwtq (428/478 flywheel)
The above + 5star tune:
I put down 320rwhp/360rwtq
so that would be 457/514 flywheel
Seems pretty good for minor mods
Couple more little mods
Black ford oval from Billet Badges (painted the bezel to match fenders)
Line-X bed and wheel wells
Retrax pro bed cover - love it

Stainless Works exhaust + 5star tune, resonator deleted
Recently had Chuck's speed shop weld this on for me.
Stainless Works lightning exhaust, aFe intake, 5star tune
The SW setup is WAY better in terms of looks and exit location.
The note is deeper than stock and more aggressive.

Yes on the graphite. I think it would look good and different than the all black we are all used to seeing. I'm just waiting for my stockers to wear then will be in the market for new shoes/tires!

Bolt is TOUGH. Had trouble sourcing the bolt that's why i dropped tank instead. But i was in the middle of the install so didn't spend too much time looking
Yes but next time would just cut the bolt instead of dropping tank. You can see a few pics of my install on my build thread. In a few days will post exhaust vid of my SW exhaust too

If you do it with lift, etc plan on 5-6 hrs. Sdhq/add etc will charge you the hourly labor rate x 3-4 hrs. Sdhq/add may not install parts you didn't get from them, you could call and see. I know that Jason at Lex motorsports would do it for you. Prob around $300. Give him a call. I did it with a...
Just put SW lightning cat back on the truck. It is awesome. Resonator deleted. With the afe intake and the exhaust, the sound is perfect for me. You know it's there, but you don't feel like a high school kid. Essentially no drone on hwy, but a big growl with throttle. Perfect.
