I’m trying to claw back some of the mpg’s I lost (got 19 mpg on a 150 mile drive today) since the lift. I’ve got a Roush cold air intake on the way and was considering a catback exhaust as well.

I can only find one magnaflow exhaust system that specifically states that it fits a PB. Doesn’t mean others won’t and am wondering if anybody has modded their exhaust yet?

There's a reason that the normal 3.5 Ecoboost exhausts don't work.
The Powerboost has a heat exchanger just aft the downpipe but before the resonator.

Makes sense. Somebody on another thread mentioned Roush may have one on the way. I’ll wait for that I suppose.

I used that one. I spoke with someone at rough country first. They said they haven’t done one themself yet so therefore couldnt say that it would work on the website but that they weren’t aware of anything specific that would prevent it from working. Another person already said it worked in the review section and the shop that did mine said there was nothing different about the powerboost truck vs any other ‘21 f150 they’ve used the kit on.

See my old post. They fits.

Been 5 month.

Just got her back from the custom shop last night. 3" Rough Country suspension lift, 17" Matte Gun Metal Black Rhino Abrams wheels, 305/70r17 Cooper AT3 XLT's. No trimming required though there is slight rub on the right crash bar at or near full lock, but only in reverse. I think I can live with it but may cut them when I take it back for a retorque after 500 miles.

Unsurprisingly, that press you into your seat acceleration off the line is no more (still plenty quick tho). on the plus side I still got over 20 mpg on the 30 mile drive home from the shop.

Waiting on a Dualiner, A Rigid Ind. light bar and surface mounted flood light pods, and maybe a retractable tonneau cover and she's finished.

Looking to run the same size tire. With around the same offset. Could you post a picture of the poke?

Looks really nice! Curious, what is the max height of the cab? Curious for garage clearance. Thanks!

Installed hood mounted flood light pods to shed some light parallel to the truck. I decided the factory LEDs were sufficient for forward lighting and that an LED bar was kind of a waste. Installed a Truxedo Sentry CT cover about a month ago and today she got her Leadfoot/matte black Ford emblems. Think I’m done modding unless somebody makes an PB specific exhaust system that will actually provide mileage and performance gains and not just more noise.

@Joe T -

Is your rig a Powerboost?
Yes, it is. This is a the PowerBoost specific section of the forums, it says PowerBoost on the door, and it says PowerBoost in the title.

Well..., I'm actually only "titally" inspired by my wife's double d's. Sorry for the confusion. It should read "totally".

Crazy how green yours looks with the sun low. Leadfoot ftw!

any rub with those tires? My 305/70/17 will hit the crash bars in reverse at certain angles…

No rub so far but it seems to be "grabby" in reverse in 4x4. I also get really bad mpg's. I often get 10-12 mpg on shor trips. on 2 mile trips its about 15mpg. 10 or more will get me 18 mpg on a hybrid. I lost at least 25% mpg over stock.

Mine is not that bad. 19.5 overall since i bought it and that’s counting a bit of high rpm beach driving and other gas guzzling 4wd activity. It’s def worse when the temp drops tho.

Where did you order the replacement grille? does it have mounts for the forward sensors?
