I should get paid royalties from Ford. I can't tell you how many times I have heard that. These cams really sound good with the exhaust opened up. Sounds good Fool4Parts.

Nice sounds great.
I think the idle quality was the best on the clip with the idle set at 950rpms.
In alot of the clips I hear it sometime get a rythmic quality after idle a for about 10 secs. I prefer it to sound a little more random/stumble if that makes sense.
As far as a street setup I think the no cats is a little crazy loud. For the track it would sound great.
On a side note you said it is currently going through the stock cats into an X-pipe. I assume you cut the stock H pipe and put in the X. How big of a sound difference is that?
I was thinking about putting in the prochamber that you cut in behind the stock cats but cant find a sound clip or anything of that set up. I wondered how much a difference it makes to cut in piping after the cats.
I want a deeper slightly louder tone but I dont want to make it crazy loud like if I went to an O/R pipe.
Thanks,

No doubt! You are the man jmose77! You told about the install, the tools, the Ford manual link, photos, time to complete, everything. It sent me over the edge. Thanks again!

I don't mind the loud part. I didn't like the sound of running over a cat that the stock cam and headers w/ off-road-x makes around 3,000 RPM. I had cut the stock cats from the H-pipe and slipped them into the x-pipe and it got rid of the screaming cat. The sound was then close to stock-no screaming cat at 3K but with the benefit (possibly) of the X-pipe. I'll post a pix of that set-up for you when i get home tonight.
Ok but was it louder than the stock set-up after you cut in the stock cats to the aftermarket X pipe?
Thanks,
