Too late/busy last night to update, but finally had the oil leak fixed yesterday.
Oil Filter Housing Gasket, fresh oil change... and I got the 4.4 exhaust installed (no sound difference in case anyone's curious)

Looks great! I assume you remove the "3.0i" badges from the fenders...

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
4.4 exhaust looks nice Dan. Glad to hear you got the OFHG done! 4 dollar part, 3 hours of labor lol!

You can always Xpipe it if you want sound, I still am happy with my Ractive tips but if I found a set of 4.6/4.8 mufflers with tips in good condition I'd do the swap, hope for a little more deepness to the sound of the 3.whoa with my row-my-own gearbox

Better than the nightmare rear main seal job that has a cheap part & hella work.

My trailer module is in.



The guy that did my alternator & battery did not use the hold down. At least he left it there so I could put it on. Makes me worry what else he 1/2 a@sed.



What are these for?

Those are the WORST jobs. A Viper Club member/friend in Florida just had a coolant crossover tube gasket replaced......$12 part with $800 labor.

I had a set of Hancocks on my staggered 87s at one time. I don't remember the model but they were the correct rating for a 4.6. They improved handling and were very quiet.
