so wait, is that WHY EVERY f150 i hear that has pipes has a dang tick to it like mine does???? Mine has an annoying tick that freaking drives me insane but every f150 in my town also has it.
Gears first then get tubes. The tick is just a annoyance. Ones you get gears you'll be happier and then once you get the lts you'll be very happy.
Obx makes a good set of headers for our trucks so look them up and they are cheaper then most. Pacesetter is decent but cheap. Me however I'm going with dynotech. There expensive.
